This week Spanish Primera Division matches
|
 It`s the only game where result is of no importance for neither of the teams. Villareal assured 2nd place and can`t reach 1st, Espanyol secured survival and can`t make it to Europe. In a situation like this, they will both play for the fans, prestige or perhaps something else. At least Villareal fans will get a chance to celebrate their team`s highest placement ever.
Farewell with the season
Villareal did a very good job this time. Not even most optimistic expected «Yellows» to end up 2nd. They`re the team with most away wins, as much as 11. They did no worse at home, winning 10 times. Extraordinary squad with many top players, greatly combined, unlike many other teams, a great atmosphere and experience of coach Manuel Pellegrini, all made their success come naturally. Their greatest motive for Sunday is to say goodbye to their fans for the season with a win. Espanyol probably won`t object since they proved to be the «best-intended» opponents in Primera.
Make a formality
Espanyol squad will take a trip to play against the best team in the second half of championship, after another home defeat in last round, as much as 7th. This game is of no importance for them. A win or a defeat, it`s all the same! Players of Espanyol are lethargic for quite some time now, and surely won`t snap out of it on Sunday. Home side fans are devastated with their team`s performance throughout 2nd half of championship and there are quite a few of those believing it`s a boycott of coach or something of that kind. Those are just speculations but there must be some truth in it. Espanyol find themselves at mid-table with 48 points and there`s no hope left for them to make it to the UEFA. With their survival secured, the game in Villareal is just a formality for «Parrots». Jarque will be available again, after one game ban.
Betting verdict
Villareal are favorite, especially with Espanyol`s indolence in last few months. When you consider that there`s no motive left for them to fight for, it becomes clear that only one outcome is likely to happen at «Madrigal», home win.
