Relegation candidates Real Valladolid will be looking to end their three-game winless streak in the league when they welcome Espanyol on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts come into this game a week after a 3-0 defeat to Celta Vigo, which was their second loss in a row. Nevertheless, Juan José's side will be optimistic going into the match, having lost only two of their last eight league games at this stadium. Backed by wins against Celta, Elche, Real Sociedad and Valencia in that period, the home side will go into the game as slight favorites.
Espanyol, on the other hand, will be looking to make it three league wins in a row for the first time this season after wins against Elche and Mallorca. However, José Zorrilla has not been a good hunting ground for Diego Martínez’ men in recent years, as they have failed to win their last four games here. Given that three of those games ended with less than 2.5 goals, Sunday's match is likely to be a tight affair.
Real Valladolid vs Espanyol Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
What keeps making headlines in Real Valladolid's recent games is the fact that at least one team usually fails to score a goal almost every time. To clarify: A bet on "both teams to score=no" has been won nine times in their last ten games in all competitions.
Given that seven of those games ended with less than 2.5 goals and similar results have been recorded in twelve of the last fifteen encounters between Real Valladolid and Espanyol, we expect to see fewer than three goals this weekend.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Real Valladolid vs Espanyol prediction: 1-0

Real Valladolid would not have recourse to Selim Amallah, who saw a red card in the defeat to Celta Vigo last weekend.
Jordi Masip has missed the last ten games due to a shoulder injury, and the goalkeeper will also be absent on Sunday.
In addition to the two, Anuar and Kenedy are also on the hosts' list of absentees with cruciate ligament injury and muscle fiber tears, respectively.

Espanyol Team News
Espanyol's win over Mallorca last weekend was the first time in their last four matches that both sides finished the game with eleven players.
There were no injuries last time out, so coach Diego Martínez might resist the temptation to change his starting eleven, with top scorer Joselu back set to start on the bench.
Adrià Pedrosa and Keidi Bare missed that game due to groin and ankle injuries, respectively, and Sunday's game would be too early for them.
