Espanyol-vs.-Villarreal

Espanyol – Villarreal SOCCER PICKS

In order to take advantage of local favor and ensure its presence in the next stage of the Copa del Rey, this Thursday the cast of Espanyol is preparing to receive the visit of Villarreal, in play to be played at the RCDE Stadium in Cornella de Llobregat, for the return of the second round of the Copa del Rey of Spain.

Espanyol:

With much anger was how the game ended for the run by Rubí, and that the parakeets were leading by 0-2 until the 85th minute, and many already relishing to see their team in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey , but the last five minutes were a disaster for Espanyol, as they saw how Ekambi and Bacca put the tie to two final goals and with this there is no other way to sentence the series at home.

This result in the first leg was reflected again last weekend when Espanyol visited Real Sociedad in a game where, despite going down in the score by 2-0, there was a match to tie it, but then William José appeared and put the final 3-2, so the only way to get out of that pothole is winning the series against the yellow submarine.

Villarreal:

For their part, those led by Luis García are still complicated and ugly with the issue of permanence, so the Yellow Submarine comes from losing at home 1-2 against Getafe and thus Villarreal is ranked 19th, stuck in zone of direct descent, and knows that he has to row and hard to discount those four points that lead Celta de Vigo advantage.

The truth is that with the defeat at home, the cast of Villarreal added a streak of five games without knowing of wins, although it must be said that the previous four ended in a draw, but we have to say that now faces a Espanyol against whom they have not he has been able to win in his last four direct matches and who has won once in his last seven direct games.
