Valencia vs Espanyol Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd April 2025

Valencia appear to have a good chance to add three more points to their season account, as they face Espanyol in round 33 of the LaLiga season. They will surely end up frustrated, should they fail to beat the visitors at Estadio Mestalla this coming Tuesday.

It seems Valencia and Espanyol have such a good reading on each other that there's little or nothing to set them apart right now. Their last three matches all ended without a winner, which naturally makes the draw a tasty prospect at Estadio Mestalla.

Valencia only average a modest 1.4 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 14 goals. They also conceded 11 for an average of 1.1 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Espanyol are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 14 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.4 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of seven goals, and while Espanyol claimed five clean sheets, they conceded an average of 0.7 goals per match.

It finished all square on when Valencia last faced Espanyol. With both denying to back down, the scoreboard said 1-1 in the end. The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 5/2.

Valencia vs Espanyol Prediction

Valencia Form

Valencia collected two wins and a draw from their last three matches, as they ran out 1-2 and 1-0 winners against Real Madrid and Sevilla, respectively. Against Rayo Vallecano, they had to settle for a draw as the match finished even with a 1-1 scoreline. Valencia won five of their last six LaLiga matches at Estadio Mestalla, scoring eight and conceding five along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

Espanyol Form

Espanyol are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Rayo Vallecano got left behind in a 0-4 win, before Celta Vigo got hammered in a 0-2 victory. Getafe was the most recent victim in a 1-0 win for Espanyol. Espanyol won half their previous six away matches in the LaLiga, as well as seeing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored ten goals whilst conceding five.

Valencia and Espanyol seem to have a strong read on the game plan of this particular opponent, as their last three encounters offered no winner. With that in mind, the draw once again makes an attractive bet.

Valencia claimed nine wins, 11 draws as well as 12 defeats in the LaLiga this season. Espanyol are looking at ten wins, eight draws and 13 defeats in the LaLiga.
