Espanyol – Villarreal – Espanyol, who is unlikely to get out of the bottom of the table, is now in a series of four unbeaten matches, despite the expected elimination from the Cup, where they played against Barcelona. Villarreal is much better placed in the championship and holding the European position, but lost the previous two championship matches, as well as the first duel of the 16th European League final and is therefore dangerously threatened with the elimination of this competition. The first duel of these rivals was surprisingly finished without a goal.

Espanyol
The Espanyol closer is closer to the area, although there is still no reason to panic. The four wagons are without a win, but they also have to say that they have had a pretty tough schedule. After two defeats they tied two rows, so one can say that they still slowly repair the form. They were the first to defeat against Barcelona, ​​and that was always a straight win, no matter what they played at home. In the last round they were away at Chelsea and this is also a good achievement, especially since the goal for the finals 2: 2 reached just three minutes before the end.
That is why they had a lead against Barcelona before the end of the match, and in both competitions the shooter was signed by G.Moreno, who was obviously in excellent shape. Coach Flores did not change the team too much in the previous two duel and Granero was left alone in Vigo, and was suspended by C.Sanchez, who recently arrived from Fiorentina. They played well the previous two games so now we do not expect any change because there are no problems with suspensions and injuries.
Probable starting composition of Espanyola: Di.Lopez – Navarro, Da.Lopez, Naldo, Martin – Jurado, C.Sanchez, V.Sanchez, Darder – Baptistao, G.Moreno

Villarreal
For a long time the Villarreal team is on the fifth or sixth place on the table and judging by that, it could be said that they did not oscillate, but this team has its ups and downs so after three defeats they had a series of six games in which they did not lose and even won five times, including Real Madrid and Valencia away. Now they are again falling and they are lost at Betis and on their pitch from Alaves, which is a special surprise.
Everything was accompanied by a defeat in the first duel of the 16 th European Leagues in Lyon at 3: 1, so it is clear that a very difficult task in the retreat is waiting for them. They were sold by the best player in Bakambua in China, and this has greatly weakened them, and coach Calleja in the duel against Alaves and Lyon sent almost identical pieces to the field. He returned to Rodri, who could not play in the championship because of the suspension, and Cheryshev jumped. Now, due to fatigue, there may be several changes in the composition.
