In the last 4 rounds, Espanyol scored only two points, drawing with Valencia and Cadiz and losing to Real Sociedad and Sevilla. Note that in this period all matches involving the Catalans were tops, in three out of four a bet on TO (3.5) worked out. Only two points in 4 rounds dropped the Catalans to the 17th place and now only goal difference separates Parrots from the relegation zone. Espanyol's home statistics are the worst in the division, with only one point in four games and a goal difference of 5:10.

After the international break, Valladolid gained four points: three in the away game against Getafe and one against Betis at home. Valladolid is 13 in the Spanish league, with eight points and a two-point gap from the relegation zone. Valladolid has better away statistics than Espanyol at home, +1=1-2, 5:9 goal difference.

• Valladolid failed to win 18 of the last 20 matches in the Spanish championship.
• The total of the Spanish championship's four last four games of Espanyol was over (2.5).
• In six of the last seven away matches of Valladolid in the Spanish championship, the total over was reached (2.5).
• Espanyol failed to win in 14 of the last 15 matches in the Spanish championship.
• Espanyol conceded at least two goals per game in seven of the last eight La Liga games.
• Valladolid has conceded at least two goals per game in six of their last seven away matches in the Spanish league.

Despite the terrible home stats and defense, Espanyol is quoted as a favorite in the upcoming game. We think that the bookmakers slightly overestimate the Catalans, especially since Valladolid have scored 4 points in two games after the break, i.e. they are in good shape. We think that Valladolid has a chance to get some points in the upcoming game. We wouldn't be surprised if Sunday's game ended in a draw.
