IndiaFantasy Winner Prediction:
Espanyol has won three of their last four games, with Quique Sanchez Flores’ side finally turning a corner. However, there is some doubt whether he will still be the manager as Stoke has offered him a way back to the Premier League.
The hosts went through to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey in midweek, and things are looking up for them, especially given their impressive home form in Cornella.
Athletic is one of the more in-form teams in La Liga at present and has recorded four wins in their last five matches.
