22:00 Valencia – Espanyol

Valencia CF is among the teams with the best home records in the Spanish football this season, as the hosts have won seven of their previous ten games at “Mestalla”, with two draws and only one defeat in this period, which came in the fourth minute of the stoppage time of their game against FC Barcelona at the end of November (Valencia CF – FC Barcelona 0-1 on 30.11.2014).

The visitors, on the other hand, rely mostly on their games at “Estadi Cornella-El Prat” (5-3-2 14-9), while RCD Espanyol won only twice in its previous nine away games this season (2-2-5 10-17), as those two victories came against poor teams like Deportivo Alaves (2-0 / Copa del Rey) and Rayo Vallecano (3-1).

Both teams have some important absentees, but Valencia CF is in better shape in this moment and what is also important – the hosts have won six of the previous seven games between these two teams at “Mestalla”, while one match ended with a draw (6-1-0 14-7).
