Espanyol hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 19th position in the La Liga table. Visiting Getafe holds 7th place with 20 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Espanyol form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the La Liga this season. Espanyol, who have the the worst goal difference (-16) in La Liga, have only managed 0 wins, 0 draws and 6 losses from their games here at RCDE Stadium. Espanyol are yet to produce one single La Liga point here at RCDE Stadium, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 6 matches have been lost. The home stadium (RCDE Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Espanyol it's been a house of straw as the last six games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around? Espanyol has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Pablo Machín and the players.
The fans are hoping that Espanyol will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the La Liga game against Atlético Madrid (placed 3rd). Before that game, the 6-0 home victory against Ludogorets.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Espanyol as they are travelling to their away game against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. That match is four days after this one.
The lack of attacking qualities in Espanyol means that they have only scored 2 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Espanyol have conceded 13 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Getafe form and stats
Playing away, Getafe have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the La Liga this season.
Getafe delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Osasuna (placed 10th) in their previous match; a La Liga game. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Basel's place.
Getafe has another fixture away, a Europa League game, against Trabzonspor in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Getafe find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Getafe have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Espanyol won 3, Getafe won 5 and 2 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 7 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
