Espanyol will try to recover from the La Liga disaster in the Copa del Rey return leg against Valencia, which incidentally set the start of their decline. The first leg ended with a narrow 2-1 Valencia win, but Espanyol managed an away goal which may not even count in the end considering they already sum up three defeats in a row in all competitions.

Espanyol plays way better when at home where they only lost once in eight matches, all while conceding seven goals. Their most recent result is a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, where the visitors were unable to take advantage of a 10-men Real side.
Valencia is currently on the 5th place in LaLiga, and come from a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo that prevented them to come closer to the last Champions League place. They are on an unbeaten run of eight matches, and with no new injuries to worry about they could very well settle for a draw to qualify.
