Espanyol form and stats
Espanyol, who have the most scored goals (18) in La Liga 2, are steadily winning La Liga 2 games and points here at RCDE Stadium. 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games.
In their previous game, the manager V. Moreno Peris led his Espanyol to a defeat in the La Liga 2 match away at Leganes. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at RCDE Stadium. Preceding that match was a defeat to Girona (1-2).
The manager V. Moreno Peris will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FC Cartagena in only three days.
Espanyol have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at RCDE Stadium with 11 goals in 7 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Espanyol have only let in 3 goals at home.
Real Zaragoza form and stats
As the visiting team in La Liga 2 matches, Real Zaragoza have produced an overall stat of 0-1-4 so far. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Zaragoza, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Albacete game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing four defeats in a row for Zaragoza in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Alcorcón.
Real Zaragoza might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Rayo Vallecano proved too strong as Zaragoza slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio de la Romareda. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ponferradina wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Zaragoza has another fixture away, a La Liga 2 game, against Castellón in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Goals are few and far between in Zaragoza's away league games. Only 1 goal from 5 travels. 5 goals have been conceded by Zaragoza in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Espanyol two wins, three draws and Real Zaragoza five victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
