Valencia's three-game winning streak ended with a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano last weekend. While Los Che have won only one away game in La Liga this season, they are a force to be reckoned with at home, winning six of their last seven La Liga games at the Mestalla.

As it stands, Espanyol and Valencia are 13th and 14th in the Spanish top flight, respectively.
