Espanyol form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Espanyol's two home games in the La Liga 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at RCDE Stadium.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Diego Lopez Rodriguez not having conceded a league goal in 360 minutes.

Happy days for Espanyol in their previous game, a La Liga 2 match away at Sabadell (placed 21st) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that match, a win away at Real Oviedo.

Manager V. Moreno Peris felt very clever after Nicolás Melamed scored the winning goal against Sabadell, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 71st minute.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Espanyol's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn one and lost zero.

At RCDE Stadium, Espanyol has the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Alcorcón form and stats

Still no away game victory in the La Liga 2 for Alcorcón with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Hugo Fraile was the last player to score for the away team. Alcorcón haven't scored a league goal in the last 186 minutes.

Alcorcón's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Real Zaragoza that finished 0-0. A 0-1 defeat away at Malaga before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Alcorcón playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, three draws and one home win.

0 goals so far away for Alcorcón, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

As for the last four games between these two teams, there's one Espanyol victory, two draws and one Alcorcón win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
