VAL vs ESL Dream11 Prediction for Valencia vs Espanyol La Liga Live Score Fantasy Football Tips & Dream11 Team

VAL vs ESL Dream11: Jose Bordalas’ Valencia started the season extremely well but they have since drifted before a late rally before either Christmas winter break. A thrilling 4-3 victory in the Valencian derby against Levante was out of the ordinary for a Bordalas team and the usually negative and aggressive style of play. They now come up against an Espanyol side that come into this on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to Celta Vigo a couple of weeks ago. The Catalans have been extremely stubborn so far this season. A low-scoring encounter is expected for this one.
