Espanyol take on the visitors Rayo Vallecano in the round 33 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, April 21th at RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat).
Espanyol have not had serious goals this season for a long time. Wards Vicente Moreno coped, and regularly took points - and, remarkably, they are doing it now, despite the fact that the tournament motivation has already disappeared. On April 10, they managed beat Celta. And a week later they managed tickle the nerves of Atlético itself. Thanks to another goal from Raul de Thomas, Espanyol leveled the score in the middle of the 2nd half. And only in the 10th (tenth!) minute added to the fight, Ferreira-Carrasco snatched victory for the "mattresses" from the penalty spot. However, even so, there are 39 points, 10 more than the best of the outsiders

Rayo Vallecano last won in the LaLiga on December 18th. The start of the newcomer in La Liga was so unexpectedly powerful that Christmas was celebrated in the quartet of leaders. But it seems that around the same time, the "bees" fell into some kind of hibernation, and can not get out of it. The winless streak has already reached 13 matches in this arena! It seems that Andoni Iraola’s wards understand that those points gained in 2021 may not even be enough to survive, and they are trying to add. April began at least with draws with Granada (although until the 67th minute the capital club led 2-0) and Valencia. But an important match on April 16, against direct competitor Alaves, ended in a 0-1 defeat. A 5-point gap, even with a match in hand, no longer guarantees anything - in Spain, the underdogs always fight as actively as possible in the end.
Rayo Vallecano won both head-to-heads last season, at Segunda. And they continued this series in December last year, defeating Espanyol 1-0 in Madrid. Espanyol have everything in order now. But at Rayo Vallecano, Merkelans and, possibly, Savelich and Falcao flew out due to injuries, and Balyu is sitting out a disqualification due to a “red” card. Bookmakers tend to give advantage to Espanyol, although not explicitly. We recommend betting that the "parrots" will win with a "zero" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Espanyol to win with 0.0 handicap.
