Villarreal are still within striking distance of Champions League positions in La Liga and will seek to close in when they host Espanyol. This match will wrap up matchday 26 action, which starts with Villarreal fifth and Espanyol 15th. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Villarreal have stabilized a bit in recent weeks and have moved to within four points of the top four. In the last round of matches, they claimed an important 1-0 win over sixth placed Rayo Vallecano.
That was also their sixth unbeaten outing, with four wins in the process. It was also only their second clean sheet in the last 14 matches.
As Villarreal work on solving their defensive issues, they will have to be at their best against Espanyol. The visitors have failed to score only once in the last nine matches.
In the course of the last six meetings between these two sides, Espanyol failed to score twice. The Catalans are coming into this game off the back of a 1-0 win over Alaves.
Their third win in six matches moved them to 27 points, four ahead of the bottom three. They will hope to build on the win, having struggled in matches against Villarreal.
Los Periquitos lost their last four matches against Villarreal.

Our Villarreal vs Espanyol Prediction
Villarreal will have the upper hand coming into this game. They are the better placed and have the head-to-head advantage in this fixture with a total of 18 wins in 47 meetings. The Yellow Submarines won each of their last four matches against Espanyol.
However, they don’t have many clean sheets in the run up to this match, while they face a side that has been consistent in attack. Espanyol’s away form is not so impressive though. Our prediction for Villarreal v Espanyol is for Villarreal to win and both teams to score.
