Valencia, Recent FormThe Valencia squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Mallorca, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Mallorca who had 4 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at The Estadio de Mestalla, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
Espanyol, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 3-3 draw against Atlético Madrid will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Espanyol. They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 26 attempts on goal with 13 on target, in comparison to Atlético Madrid, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Whilst manager Luis García will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 15 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 17 of their 18 games played.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Espanyol, José Joselu will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Valencia will be confident of finding the net in this one against Periquitos, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Espanyol hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Valencia manager Rubén Baraja ahead of this clash, with Marcos André (Meniscus) missing out, which gives Baraja a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Espanyol manager Luis García ahead of this clash, with José Gragera (Physical discomfort) missing out, which gives García a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
