The visiting Espanyol II side should be favourites in this visit to Orihuela, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 16 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
