Espanyol vs Villarreal Prediction: the Yellows Failed but Still the Favorite

Prediction for the La Liga Espanyol vs Villarreal match, which will take place on November 9. Who will win? Check the teams' conditions! Also, several betting options are available.

The Catalans had three draws. After a minimal defeat against Osasuna, the Parrots have tied with Elche, Mallorca, and Atletico. So the Catalans occupy 16th place in the standings with 12 points. However, the gap from the relegation zone is only one point, and the Catalans, from match to match, have to win. Espanyol's home statistics are only the 18th in the division, +1=2-3, 8:12 goal difference.

Villarreal failed the last three matches in three tournaments, but the Yellows could not even score in this period. They are emaciated, so in such a situation, it will be challenging to tune in for the upcoming game, although the visitors outclass the hosts. As a result, Villarreal dropped to 9th place with 18 points. The Yellow's away stats are 9th in the division, +2=2-4, 5:6 goal difference. Let's note the Submarine' under away numbers.

• Espanyol's three most recent matches have ended in draws.
• Villarreal has yet to win in four previous games.
• Espanyol has scored in their last five home games.

It's La Liga's final round before the World Cup. It is tough for teams in a slump to rebuild and deliver a positive result. Villarreal is one of those teams, as evidenced by a 3-match losing streak and a 4-match winning streak. Espanyol's motivation is the tournament placing. The Catalans are out of the relegation zone, but we won't dare call their position good. We predict that Espanyol will earn points, but we doubt they will win.
