Quick frame
- La Liga. Kick-off 27 April 2023, 17:30 UTC.
Expected match script
- Villarreal Two defeats in La Liga within eight days, both with a score of 1-2, have likely dashed Villarreal's hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season.
- They still look good for European football, with a win over Espanyol, who are in danger of relegation, helping to strengthen their position in the top six.
- The hosts will begin as favorites, but even a 5-1 victory here last season offers no guarantees, as it was their first home success in meetings with Espanyol since March 2017.
