Espanyol survived in the last round during their visit to Atletico Madrid after a goalless draw. This way they won their first point of the season. However, they still haven't scored a goal after the first three rounds. They also suffered two losses, both by 0:1, at home to Real Sociedad and away to Valladolid.
Rayo Vallecano started well with a 2:1 victory as a guest against Real Sociedad. Then they visited Getafe, where they managed a goalless draw. On Tuesday, they put up a good fight at home against Barcelona, taking the lead but eventually suffering a turnaround and a 1:2 loss. Rayo has won five of their last six matches against Espanyol, including their last three visits to this opponent.
Prediction: X2 double chance, under 2.5 goalsEspanyol had a good amount of luck to secure their first point. Now they will try to score their first goal of the season. However, Rayo seems solid from the beginning of the campaign and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't lose here again.
