- Espanyol aiming to bounce back after their first loss of the season at Real Madrid
- Valencia seeking consecutive LaLiga wins but still struggling away from home
- Both sides carrying contrasting goal stats heading into Tuesday’s clash
- RCDE Stadium has been a fortress for Espanyol so far this season
Manolo Gonzalez’s Espanyol may have lost 2-0 to Real Madrid on Saturday, but their start to the campaign has been quietly impressive. Ten points from their first four matches set a strong tone, with home wins over Atletico Madrid, Osasuna, and Mallorca establishing RCDE Stadium as a tough place to visit. Statistically, they’ve been steady: averaging two goals scored per match, conceding just one, and hitting over 2.5 goals in two-thirds of their games. That’s solid output by any standard. The question is, can they keep that rhythm going after their first setback?
One big positive for the Periquitos: their record against Valencia. They’re unbeaten in the last six meetings, even if five ended in draws. Their last home victory in this fixture dates back to August 2018, but the momentum feels tilted their way. With no fresh injury worries and only Pere Milla suspended, Gonzalez can field a consistent lineup. Kike Garcia could get another start up front, while the back four that held its own in earlier rounds is expected to stay intact. Consistency might just be their secret weapon here.
Valencia, meanwhile, come into this one with mixed emotions. Yes, Saturday’s 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao lifted spirits, with Baptiste Santamaria scoring and assisting in a single game. But their away record? That’s the sore spot. A bruising 6-0 defeat to Barcelona just ten days ago still lingers, and they haven’t tasted victory on the road since May. Averaging 3.5 goals conceded per game while failing to score a single one away this season paints a grim picture. Can Carlos Corberan’s men really flip that script?
Still, Los Che aren’t without options. Hugo Duro’s cameo goal against Athletic puts him in contention to start alongside summer signing Arnaut Danjuma. A fully fit squad gives Corberan tactical freedom, but whether they can handle Espanyol’s attacking balance is another matter. With both teams hitting the over 2.5 mark in around half their games this season, another open contest wouldn’t surprise. Yet Espanyol’s stability at home compared to Valencia’s travel woes tilts this contest towards the hosts. Bold prediction? Espanyol to edge it, but it might not be pretty.
Valencia are on their way to Barcelona ahead of Tuesday’s LaLiga clash against Espanyol, with all eyes on Ramazani, who has overcome recent ankle concerns to join the squad. Coach Carlos Corberán confirmed the Belgian winger trained normally and will be available for selection, giving Valencia a fully fit squad for the third consecutive match. Key players like Hugo Duro and Pepelu may feature in the starting lineup. Source: AS.
Espanyol to Win looks like the most logical play here, and the stats back it up. Manolo Gonzalez’s side averages two goals per game while conceding only one, and they’ve scored in every home outing so far. RCDE Stadium has been a fortress, with three straight victories over tough opponents like Atletico Madrid and Osasuna. In contrast, Valencia’s away form is dreadful. They concede an average of 3.5 goals per game on the road and have yet to score away from Mestalla this season. Even their recent 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao came at home, where they tend to play with far more confidence. History also leans towards Espanyol, as they’re unbeaten in the last six head-to-head matches. With Pere Milla suspended but no major injury concerns, the hosts look settled, consistent, and ready to bounce back after the Madrid defeat. Backing Espanyol to win feels justified.
