Valencia CF vs RCD Espanyol Tickets

Valencia CF vs RCD Espanyol at the Mestalla has proven to be hugely entertaining affairs in recent years, with the hosts tending to come away from the fixture with a victory when the two sides meet. With both clubs established in La Liga, supporters can expect to witness a fiercely competitive encounter and one that can produce some brilliant action on the pitch.

Valencia, who are also known as Los Che, are one of the most recognisable teams to have originated from Spain, with the club being the third-most-popular team in the country. Indeed, that could be down to the size of the eastern province, or because of the amount of success they have had with the star names they have had in the past. The Bats have gone on to win no fewer than 10 La Liga titles, as well as a minimum of 10 Copa del Reys, whilst also regularly competing in European competitions.

Espanyol have established themselves as a La Liga side, although they have not had much success in terms of obtaining silverware when it comes to league competition; four Copa del Rey titles do sit in the trophy cabinet, though. The Catalonia-based outfit do have the ability to make life difficult for teams in the division, as they have been able to push for places in Europe on occasion.

The Mestalla is the seventh-largest football stadium in Spain and is also one of the oldest to still be used, therefore making it one of the most iconic sporting venues in the country. With the ability to hold a capacity crowd of 48,600, the Mestalla certainly becomes a raucous and passionate place as Los Che have some of the best supporters in the game.

As mentioned, the hosts generally appear to do favourably well when the game is played in front of the aforementioned fans, with previous results tending to provide Valencia with all three points more often than not. Previous encounters have finished 1-0, 2-1 and 3-1, although Espanyol have also managed to secure 0-0 and 2-2 draws in the past as well.

With a number of stars being expected to take to the pitch each time these sides meet, as well as some of the best young talent in the game, Valencia CF vs RCD Espanyol at the Mestalla is a meeting that many look forward to when it is released on the La Liga schedule and one that provides supporters with a truly special atmosphere when attending the game.
