Insights:
  • Espanyol have the most scored goals (59) in La Liga 2
  • Las Palmas have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Espanyol and Las Palmas should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Las Palmas have to travel 2400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Espanyol form and stats

Espanyol, who have the most scored goals (59) in La Liga 2, have performed here at RCDE Stadium this season with 13 wins from 17 La Liga 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. Espanyol haven’t lost a league-game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Rayo Vallecano, 83 days ago. It’s been three wins in a row for Espanyol here at RCDE Stadium, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Espanyol shared the glory with Almeria in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Leganes.

A painful moment in the game against Almeria was the missed penalty kick from Raúl de Tomás in the 69th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

A decent goal production from Espanyol in their home games so far, with 33 goals from 17 league matches. From these home matches, Espanyol have conceded only 9 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Las Palmas form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Las Palmas so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 2-8-7 (win-draw-lose). With three draws in a row for Palmas the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment. Las Palmas has drawn their two previous away games.

Palmas's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Malaga that finished 1-1. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Real Oviedo that ended 0-0.

The attacking power of Palmas when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Palmas have conceded 25 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
