The home team currently occupies 14th position, having accumulated 38 points from 9 wins, 11 draws, and 12 defeats. In their penultimate match, they secured a 1-0 victory against Sevilla at home. However, in their last outing, they drew away to Rayo Vallecano (1-1). Valencia tends to exhibit a stronger performance at home, where they have garnered 27 points, compared to just 11 on the road. In their last 10 home matches in La Liga, Valencia achieved 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, earning 19 points from a possible 30. Defensive solidity has not been their greatest strength, conceding goals in 7 of their last 10 outings, yet their attack has been resilient, scoring in 9 of their last 10 league games. In 32 matches this season, they have yet to secure a comeback after conceding the first goal in any of the 11 games where they fell behind.
Valencia’s last performance ended in a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano, with the only goal for Valencia scored by Umar Sadiq. They typically employ a tactical formation of 4-4-2, with Diego López and Hugo Duro spearheading their attack, which primarily flows down the left flank, benefiting from José Gayà’s depth. Thierry Correia will miss this match due to fitness issues.
Team analysis: Espanyol
The visiting team is currently positioned 12th, also with 38 points from 10 wins, 8 draws, and 13 losses. In their penultimate fixture, they achieved a solid 2-0 away win at Celta de Vigo, followed by a 1-0 home victory over Getafe in their most recent match. Espanyol has shown a stronger home presence, accumulating 27 points at their ground, but only 11 on their travels.

Notably, the predominant result for the first half in their games has been 0-0, occurring in 6 of their 16 matches.

Espanyol heads into this match following a 1-0 victory against Getafe, with the only goal scored by Marash Kumbulla.
