Villarreal vs Espanyol Prediction & Tips
Currently, Villarreal are not playing convincingly, which has caused them to fall out of the top 5 of the league table. In the last five matches, the team has only won twice. And at home, the situation is even worse: four games without a win. At the moment, the ‘Yellow Submarine’ have 52 points and have fallen from fifth to sixth place. The gap to Betis is only two points, but it is time to start winning if the team wants to secure a place in the Champions League. Moreover, Villarreal have a game in hand, precisely the one they have yet to play. So by points dropped, they are still fifth, but they must win, no matter what.
Espanyol are currently in the second half of the La Liga table. And despite being in 13th place, the points margin is still not enough to talk confidently about staying in the top flight. The gap to 18th is seven points, and there are six games to go, including this postponed one. So the Catalans have a good chance of staying in Primera. This is also due to the team’s form: five games unbeaten, of which three are wins. Last season, Espanyol played in Segunda, but now it looks like they will be able to keep their place in La Liga.
