Espanyol form and stats

Espanyol have collected 13 points from their La Liga home games so far after 3-4-5.

The club members are hoping that Espanyol will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the game against Real Madrid (placed 2nd). The forward Darder was declared "man of the match" for Espanyol with the rating of 7.6/10. Darder hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Real Valladolid.

Espanyol are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
