Both teams have scored in four of Espanyol’s six home matches.
Both of Villarreal’s draws this season have ended 2-2.
Goals on the cards at RCDE Stadium
Villarreal could go second in La Liga with a win on Saturday, but they may be forced to settle for a point in what promises to be an entertaining meeting with Espanyol.
The hosts have lost just one of their six home games this season and have seen both teams score in four of those, while they host a Villarreal side that suffered defeat in their midweek trip to Pafos.
The Yellow Submarine have scored in four of their last five away games, though, and should find the net at the RCDE Stadium.
Espanyol have drawn two of their last seven matches and one of these was a 2-2 affair at home to Valencia. With both of Villarreal’s stalemates this season ending 2-2, that looks a solid correct score prediction.
