Villarreal - Espanyol Prediction, Picks and Tips
Great game that we will see in Villarreal between the Castellon team and Espanyol, where we seek the tie or the perica victory in the first leg of the Cup. It will be a meeting between two candidates 'in silence' to be able to raise a trophy that motivates both parties, especially that of Espanyol, which still has in mind that conquered years ago at the Bernabéu against Zaragoza.
Espanyol managed to win in their first match of 2019 by the minimum (1-0) to Leganés. A victory that serves as a respite and re-hooked to the top of the table. Villarreal, meanwhile, has already played 2 games so far this year. On Wednesday he drew against Madrid (2-2) and today he did the same again at the home of Eibar (0-0). I think that this factor can benefit the Catalan team: load of meetings at the beginning of the year after the Christmas break, less rest and preparation, possible muscle loads ...
In addition, although Espanyol does not carbure out of home in these last games, Villarreal does not do it as a local, being one of the worst in LaLiga (7 points in 9 games). I think that no team will be reserved for the most habitual ones and we will see a nice match in which we wait for the draw or the blue and white victory.
