Villareal B vs Espanyol prediction 09.10.2023
Villarreal II
Espanyol
Contents
- Competition: La Liga 2
- Date: 9th October 2023
- Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Ciudad Deportiva
On Monday, Espanyol will aim to maintain their chances of a swift comeback to Spain’s top division as they take on Villarreal B at the Ciudad Deportiva.
Spain’s second division season got off to a challenging start for the hosts, as they suffered defeats in three out of their first four games. However, they have managed to bounce back in the past few weeks. Under the guidance of Miguel Ãlvarez, the team enters Monday’s match on an unbeaten streak of five games. Although they have only secured one victory during this time, their effort and determination deserve recognition. Additionally, the home team finds added motivation in the knowledge that both of their wins this season have occurred on their own turf.
Last season, Espanyol had a forgettable performance in Spain’s top division, finishing in nineteenth place. Nonetheless, there is a glimmer of hope for the team wearing white and blue. Historically, they have never spent more than one season in the Segunda División. Every time the club has been relegated in the past five instances, they swiftly achieved promotion back to the top tier. It seems highly probable that this streak will continue in the current season.

Coach Miguel Ãlvarez is anticipated to make a minimum of two alterations to Villareal B’s starting eleven following their recent draw against Levante, as no new injuries were reported.

Espanyol team news
Martin Braithwaite, who has already netted five goals in the Segunda División this season, will remain a crucial asset for Espanyol as they continue to depend on his services.
Pere Milla and Javi Puado, who have collectively scored seven goals this season, will provide support to the ex-Barcelona forward in the attacking third.
After successfully maintaining a clean sheet in the previous match, Fernando Pacheco will retain his position as goalkeeper. In the meantime, José Gragera aspires to secure a spot in the starting lineup for the midfield.
