Player to watch: Javi Puado
Gonzalez’s goalscoring machine is on fire this season. Javi Puado is undoubtedly the home team’s top performer this season, which is why we believe he will help our key Espanyol vs Las Palmas predictions succeed.
Puado can’t be stopped!
With 11 league goals, it’s fair to say Espanyol’s winger is one of the most lethal finishers in La Liga. His place among the starters for coach Gonzalez is secured, as we expect to see him perform his heart out at RCDE Stadium.
