Espanyol – Valencia Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (19.11.2017)

Spanish is not very good outside the home, but the truth is that at home is a fairly reliable team. His 3 wins these seasons have been at home and he only lost 1 of 5 home games. Of the 9 goals this season, 7 have been at home (1.4 goals / match). In addition, we must add a solid defense that has only conceded 3 goals in the 5 games played at home. In addition, the Spanish is a team that does not play with the ball: it has only won possession in 3 games, and in none of the 3 has managed to win, or even score. In the other games, the Spanish round 40% of possession, even when he has won by a landslide.

The Valencia, second classified, still does not know the defeat this league. As a visitor, he has 3 wins and 2 draws. Average 4.6 goals as a visitor and almost 4 goals if we count all the matches. In 75% of games there have been more than 2.5 goals. Unlike the Spanish, Valencia has achieved good results both when they have dominated possession of the ball and when not, although in only in 1/11 games has exceeded 55% (58%). There is a significant fact: in the 7 games that have won possession or possession has hovered 50%, Valencia has received only 2 goals (both of visitors) and has scored 16. In the other 4 games, with possession of around of 40%, has conceded 9 goals (and has scored 14).

In summary, I foresee a match dominated by the valence but not completely owning the ball, leaving in phases that is the Spanish who takes center stage. For its part, the Spanish will want to wait below to have their options against. If the Spaniard manages to open the score, the match will be open and with goals, which could fall from both sides. Otherwise, if the Spaniard receives first, the match is going to get very uphill and it would be the moment in which Valencia could sentence.

Valencia have stayed at 0 in only 1 of 11 games and have scored more than one goal in 8/11. In addition, the valence has managed to score his first goal in the first half in almost all games played. Also, in almost every Spanish game there have been goals in the first half.
