Espanyol vs Valencia – Predicted lineups, injuries, form, etc.
While the two teams can enter this game without any pressure, we may still see an interesting duel. Here's a closer look at both teams:
Espanyol
Although they failed to get a win in their last five games in La Liga, Espanyol is safe from relegation, which was their primary goal coming into the season as one of the teams promoted from La Liga 2. So, with two games left to be played, Espanyol can stay relaxed and try to improve on their recent poor record, but if they don't, it won't matter much.
The team will be without Oscar Gil, Manu Moraines, and Keidi Bare through injuries, while Yangel Herrera is suspended after being sent off against Alaves over the weekend.
Espanyol predicted lineup:
Lopez – Vidal, Calero, Gomez, Cabrera – Vidal, Melendo- Vilhena, Darder, Puado – De Tomas
Valencia
Ever since their loss in Copa del Rey final, Valencia players seemed off and it's not a huge surprise since the team was stuck in the middle of the standings anyway. However, the Bats are now without a win in the last seven matches in La Liga and their fans are probably hoping for a positive result in the next two games, just to end the season on a positive note.
Gabriel Paulista is out of the upcoming game with an injury, but the rest of Valencia's team is in good shape and ready for the final matches of the season.
Valencia predicted lineup:
Mamardashvili – Correia, Alderete, Diakhaby, Vazquez – Soler, Racic, Moriba, Gil – Guedes, Gomez
