Espanyol Valencia betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 4^th position of the league, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Mallorca, by (3‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Real Madrid, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Espanyol has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 4 of the last 5 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
