Espanyol take on the visitors Valencia in the round 7 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 2nd at RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat).
Espanyol so far unimpressive this season. The “Parrots” after a year's stay in the Segunda were able to spend a fairly smooth season, without any problems eventually climbing to a comfortable 14th place. But it seems that this part of the Catalan capital wants more, and in the summer they bet on Diego Martinez Penas, who made a good reputation for himself in Granada. But in a new place, this specialist has not yet shined with his new wards. Having snatched a draw in the 1st round in Vigo (moreover, bouncing back from 0-2 in the last 20 minutes!), After that, Espanyol lost in 4 out of 5 matches, only with Athletic on the road unexpectedly giving 1-0 due to Brethwaite's only goal closer to the end.

Valencia again creates problems for itself by the efforts of the owner. The "Bats" at one time, solely on the extravagant decision of Peter Lima, parted ways with a successful mentor, Marcelino Garcia Toral. For a long time, nothing was successful, and only in the last temporade, under Pepe Bordalas, there was progress. However, the bet on the cup did not work - they reached the final, while sacrificing the 2nd part of the season in La Liga, lost on penalties to Betis. But is it really worth it to stop cooperation after that? Also for Gattuso, who has never played or coached in Spain before? However, gradually "Los Ches" is added. Out of 3 of their victories, they took 2 in 3 last rounds, when they defeated Getafe and Celta. But this is in the native Mestalla, and between that there was a trip to Rayo Vallecano and the final 1-2. As a result, October starts for an ambitious club in the middle of the standings, in 9th position.
Valencia have good results in the recent history of confrontations with Espanyol. But, having returned to the LaLiga, the representative of Barcelona managed to take 4 points with the “bats” in the last temporade. According to experts, this is an equal pair. And both teams will try to achieve a result. So it's worth taking a closer look at the offer in the form of "both to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
