Espanyol did not start in the best way upon their return to the elite. They couldn't score a goal in the first three rounds. However, they survived with a goalless draw in their visit to Atletico, and then came their first victory, which was 2-1 at home against Rayo Vallecano in the last round, with the winning goal scored in added time.
Alaves is performing better than both teams at this stage. They started with a 1-2 loss as a guest against Celta, which remains their only loss so far. They currently have two consecutive victories, after defeating Las Palmas 2-0 at home and surprising with a 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad as a guest in their last visit.
Prediction: X2 double chance, under 2.5 goalsEspanyol I think will face resistance from Alaves, who have been performing decently lately, and most likely we will not see many goals in the match.
