Valencia hosts Espanyol in La Liga Friday, as they seek to improve their European ambitions. Valencia is in great form right now, even though Catalans are dangerous opponents.
Recent form
Valencia
Valencia has lost their way slightly throughout the season. They are now trying to regain their form. Jose Bordalas’ men currently have a seven-game unbeaten streak in La Liga. They have won their three previous matches.
Los Che is still in the middle of the table, but their recent revival has revived their hopes for Europe. They are only two points behind fourth-placed Rayo Vallecano and could climb into Champions League if the results go their direction this weekend.
Valencia won thrillingly 4-3 against Levante in their last La Liga match before the winter break. They won despite being down two goals. Carlos Soler and Goncalo Guedes each scored a goal.
Espanyol
Although they are not currently in the top half, the Spaniards have every reason for being pleased with their performance so far. They can count victories against Real Madrid or Real Sociedad as their successes this season, which is why they are so difficult opponents.
The Spaniards lost three of their five La Liga games and were defeated 3-1 by Celta Vivo in their final game before the winter break.
Vincente Moreno, manager of the Spaniards, will be concerned by their poor road record. They have lost four of their last five away games and have not won any away games this season.
History of the two sides in the conflict
Blanquiasol has only won one of their nine previous meetings.
At least one team has not scored in their seven previous head-to-head matches.
There were two goals or less in six of these games.
In their 13 previous visits, the visitors have not won at this venue.
