Espanyol

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.
