Following on from the recent international break, Espanyol and Valencia will return to action and do battle in the seventh round of La Liga fixtures on Sunday.
The hosts currently sit just above the relegation zone with four points from their opening six outings, while their opponents are five points better off in ninth spot.
We say: Espanyol 1-2 Valencia
Espanyol's front two have the ability to cause their opponents problems, but given their struggles thus far, we back Gattuso's men to just get over the line on Sunday in their bid to build a winning run.

Real Betis will look to continue their impressive start to the La Liga season on Sunday, when they return from the international break with a trip to Celta Vigo.
Los Verdiblancos sit third in Spain's top flight having won five of their opening six league matches, while their hosts find themselves 13th after back-to-back defeats.
We say: Celta Vigo 0-2 Real Betis
Even without the likes of Fekir and Juanmi, Real Betis have shown themselves to be one of the league's most dangerous sides, while being able to keep things tight at the back, and we fancy them to extend their winning run on Sunday.

After an impressive start to the season, Girona can move into the top half in La Liga by beating Real Sociedad at home on Sunday.
However, the visitors have made an impressive start to the season both domestically and in Europe, and a win could see them end the weekend in fifth.
We say: Girona 0-1 Real Sociedad
Sociedad's recent European performances have been strong, and having been well rested since their victory over Espanyol, the expectation is that the White-Blue will begin to kick on before the World Cup break.

Real Madrid will aim to make it seven wins on the bounce in the 2022-23 La Liga season when they return to action against Osasuna at the Bernabeu on Sunday night.
Los Blancos saw off city rivals Atletico Madrid 2-1 before the international break, while the visitors suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Getafe.
We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Osasuna
Osasuna have become renowned for their low-scoring affairs this season, and the possibility of Arrasate sacrificing the suspended Avila for another defender will serve to frustrate Real Madrid.
The visitors are not to be taken lightly by any stretch, but the return of Benzema to a red-hot Blancos frontline should help Real Madrid continue their perfect start to the campaign and remain top of the table.
