Espanyol form and stats

Espanyol have played three La Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three consecutive losses here at RCDE Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Espanyol drew their last game, 1-1 away at Celta de Vigo (placed 15th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Real Sociedad (1-3).

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Espanyol handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are W4-D2-L3.

Espanyol are traveling soon after this match as the Europa League match at CSKA Moskva awaits in four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Espanyol means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Espanyol have allowed the opposition to score 8 goals here at RCDE Stadium.
