Espanyol and Valencia to Draw
While Valencia had a much better start of the new season with nine points from six games compared to Espanyol's four points so far, this game can be closer that it appears at first glance.
After all, Espanyol is hosting the game and that could help them turn things around, at least for this game. However, we don't see Espanyol winning either, so we feel that a draw is the most realistic outcome for this match.

Both teams have scored in three of the last five head-to-head duels between Espanyol and Valencia, so we won't be surprised if that's the case on Sunday too.
Furthermore, both teams scored in 67% of all Espanyol matches in the league this season, while the same is true for just 33% of all Valencia games in La Liga until now.

Espanyol vs Valencia – Predicted lineups, injuries, form, etc.
While the two teams can enter this game in different moods, we may still see an interesting duel. Here's a closer look at both teams:
Espanyol
With just four points from the first six games in La Liga, Espanyol is currently one spot above the relegation zone and their fans are certainly worried about their team. However, it's still way to early to draw any conclusions about the future and Espanyol can turn things around with a couple of good results at the moment.
Meanwhile, Espanyol is currently without Ruben Sanchez, Jose Carlos Lazo, and Adria Pedrosa through injuries.
Espanyol Predicted Lineup:
Fernandez – Gil, Gomez, Cabrera, Olivan – Souza, Exposito, Puado, Darder, Braithwaite – Joselu
Valencia
Just like they did for the most of the last season, Valencia looks pretty inconsistent at the start of the new season in La Liga. After the first six rounds, the Bats have three wins and three losses, which puts them in the ninth spot in the standings at the moment. While that's not a bad start, Valencia fans are probably hoping for more after years of mediocrity.
When it comes to team news, Valencia is in pretty good shape right now since only Jaume Domenech is currently on their injury list.
Valencia Predicted Lineup:
Mamardashvili – Correia, Paulista, Diakhaby, Gaya – Guillamon, Gonzalez – Castillejo, Musah, Lino – Duro
