Game Preview

 

This weekend, Espanyol will try to turn things around in La Liga after two straight defeats. They need to win in order to maintain their chances of surviving. The hosts, meanwhile, will be seeking a victory that may move them up to eighth.

 

This weekend, Espanyol will face increased pressure as they try to stay within striking distance of surviving this semester. The Spanish juggernauts are now ranked 19th, and even a victory this weekend wouldn’t keep them from falling into the relegation zone. Espanyol enters this match with a losing record over their last two. In contrast, they have lost four of their last five games.

 

Last Saturday, Espanyol was compelled to watch as their cross-city rivals secured the victory necessary to clinch the top-flight championship. When Espanyol played the newly crowned champions, they at least appeared dangerous, scoring twice. However, Javi Puado and Joselu both scored goals after the game had already ended.

Rayo Vallecano, who are still vying for a spot in Europe, may find that the season finale is essential. Even though they placed tenth, they are only two points away from a Europa Conference League position in Spain. They have only recorded two victories in their previous five games, indicating some recent inconsistency.

 

Let’s check the latest picks, La Liga news, stats and La Liga expert picks for Rayo vs Espanyol. We’ve plenty of La Liga predictions for you to consider.

 

After losing 3-1 on the road to Real Betis the previous weekend, Vallecano will also be hoping to start winning this weekend. Despite having four shots that were on goal, they were wasteful in front of goal, with Sant Comesana’s consolation being their only attempt.

 

Vallecano has a very encouraging record in this matchup as they have defeated Espanyol three times in a row. Additionally, in each of their previous three victories, they had clean sheets. Their most recent triumph came earlier this season when they won 2-0 on the road.

 

The outcome of this match will determine whether Espanyol stays in La Liga or not. However, it’s extremely difficult to ignore Vallecano’s great performance in this matchup, hence the home team is preferred.
