La Liga
Villarreal is in fifth place and has not lost in the last six rounds. With a win now, they can get within a point of the top 4. After some convincing home victories, they only managed a 1-1 draw against Valencia in their last home game, but then won on their visit to Rayo Vallecano. Now Villarreal is hosting another team from the bottom of the standings.
Espanyol records first away winEspanyol has had some good results lately and escaped the relegation zone. Therefore, they contributed the team's first away win this season in La Liga. It happened in the last round with a 1-0 victory over direct competitor Alaves. However, they remain one of the weakest away teams and face a much tougher away game now.
Prediction: Villarreal to win and over 1.5 goalsVillarreal is the better team and with a win, they can also aim for the fourth place. Espanyol is also showing improvement and has escaped the relegation zone, but I don't think they will record a second consecutive away win, especially against a team like Villarreal.
