THE PREDICTION
Espanyol’s opening day goalless draw away to Osasuna might not necessarily be reflective of their style of play this season but it is likely to be reflective of their results. Tight and cagey matches based on fine margins have been the way in La Liga in recent seasons and the newly promoted Catalans will be no different. They come up against one of the more exciting sides in Unai Emery’s Villarreal but even the yellow submarine meandered to a 0-0 draw on the opening day last weekend at home to Granada. Given the slowish nature of these two starts’, another low-scoring affair seems very likely.
