History:

Valencia CF will take on newly-promoted side Real Club Deportivo Espanyol on New Year’s Eve in the final home game of the calendar year at Mestalla at 4:15 pm kick-off time on Matchday 19 of LaLiga.

Valencia CF have welcomed RCD Espanyol 106 times across all competitions with a strong balance of 70 wins, 22 draws and 14 losses.

Last time out, a ten-man Valencia CF side edged out the parakeets thanks to a 17th-minute strike from Kevin Gameiro which was enough to separate the sides at full time.

José Bordalás’ men will be looking to end the calendar year on a high note in front of the Mestalla crowd ahead of bringing 2021 to a close.
