Espanyol are enjoying their best start to a La Liga campaign in many years and look to extend the same when hosting Villarreal. This will be quite some match, as sixth-placed Espanyol sits just three places behind Villarreal. Read on for our prediction for the match below.

Espanyol have so far banked 18 points, and 13 of them came in home matches. This is the kind of form they will be hoping lifts them in a fixture they’ve really struggled in.

Periquitos slumped to a shock 2-1 loss to Alaves last time out and will be hoping to bounce back here. The other downside of that defeat is that Espanyol have conceded in three of five matches. 

Villarreal are coming from yet another defeat in Europe. In a match they were expected to win with ease against Pafos, but Villarreal lost 1-0.

It was their fourth straight winless Champions League match, yet at home they are doing superbly in La Liga. In their last three domestic matches, Villarreal posted straight wins and kept clean sheets in them.

They will be targeting the same here as they return to familiar territory. The Yellow Submarines have won just three of their last eight matches across all competitions. Away from home, they managed three wins in their last five matches.
