Espanyol form and stats

Espanyol have collected 7 points from their La Liga home games so far after 2-1-1. Espanyol has recorded two wins in a row here at RCDE Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

A nice win for Espanyol last time playing, versus Real Madrid. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Aleix Vidal and Raúl de Tomás scoring for the victors. Midfield player Adrián Embarba got a match rating of 7.73 in that game, the max score being 10. Embarba served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Sevilla.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Espanyol matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, one draw and zero defeats (from five games).

Espanyol are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Espanyol are not conceding a lot of goals here at RCDE Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.

Cádiz form and stats

Things could have gone better for Cádiz in their La Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Cádiz's last game was the home draw against Valencia (0-0). Isaac Carcelén, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.62. Carcelén won 9 of 14 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rayo Vallecano wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

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 Cádiz playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and two home wins.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cádiz have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. As for defending, Cádiz rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the previous ten meetings involving these two participants are: six wins for Espanyol, zero draws and four wins for Cádiz. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: nine games.
