We said: Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Espanyol

This is a huge match for both sides, and it will be fascinating to see what develops on Sunday. Espanyol desperately need to win, but they have only been victorious three times on their travels this term, while Rayo have been largely strong at home, so we are expecting the hosts to triumph in this contest.
