Season ticket holders at RCDE Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Espanyol languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Levante will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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
With 2 La Liga wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Espanyol, who have the most conceded goals (24) at home in La Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Espanyol's previous game was a La Liga match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Deportivo Alavés (placed 15th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Osasuna.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Espanyol have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost two.
Espanyol has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. Espanyol have conceded 24 from these games.
Levante form and stats
Levante have only collected 10 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 3-1-11 (15 played).
Levante are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Valencia (placed 7th). A draw for Levante before that, at their own venue hosting Granada (1-1).
The draw against Valencia came from a losing position. The Levante manager F. López Fernández brought on Gonzalo Melero as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
Levante are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, two draws and seven defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
The attacking power of Levante when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. Levante have conceded 29 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Levante - Espanyol 0-1 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - four - two (Espanyol wins - draws - Levante wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
