The modest club from the province of Aragon is currently going through hard times and after 14 rounds is in 17th place in the standings. In addition, the team has a terrible defense, while the attack was unable to score its minimum in all matches. At the previous stage of the tournament, Dani charges crushed "Amorebieta" in all lines with a score of 4:0.

Current form
Espanyol did not arrive with a full squad – the team plays rather poorly away from home, while the opponent’s status may give the main players a chance to rest. However, the unpleasant statistics in La Liga, where the Catalans managed to get only one point in away matches, is a bit stressful, although the “parrots” recorded this success in Madrid against Atletico. In the last round, the Catalans pleased their fans and easily beat Celta at their home stadium with a score of 3:1. After 14 rounds, the visitors managed to get 13 points and are in 18th place. In the first stage of the King’s Cup, the visitors easily dealt with San Tirso with a score of 4:0, which raised the mood after an unsuccessful start in La Liga.
Disqualifications and injuries
Exposito (knee injury) and Poidreau are out of the game.
Interesting trends for betting
- Espanyol have not won 13 La Liga games against the current top six teams before gameweek since beating Athletic in 2022-23.
- Espanyol have scored in four away games in a row
Estimated line-up: Garcia - Terejo, El Hilili, Gomez, Carbero, Romero - Milla, Graguera, Lozano - Cardona, Roca.

We expect a lot of attacks from the visitors and maximum concentration in defense from Barbastro, who will try to avoid a rout and show themselves with dignity in this match. Most likely, the maximum tension is expected away from the goal, while we expect that the visitors will try to save their players and strength before the upcoming Primera round. We expect two or three goals scored by the Catalans.
