Espanyol

DLLLLL 🔻

Espanyol will be wanting a better result here following the 2-0 La Liga loss in their previous game against Osasuna.

In that match, Espanyol had 54% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 6 on target. On the other side, Osasuna got 16 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Ante Budimir (17') and Raul García (91') scored for Osasuna.

Espanyol have been quite ineffective in attack in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 against opponents over their last 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Espanyol have also seen the number of goals scored against them total 11. Let’s find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

Coming into this fixture, Espanyol have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

UD Las Palmas

WLLLLL 🔻

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Leganés in La Liga competition, UD Las Palmas and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, UD Las Palmas had 71% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Leganes had 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Dani Raba (6') scored for Leganés.

For 5 of the prior 6 games featuring UD Las Palmas, a comparatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game within that spell works out to a meagre 1.67, with the number of goals averaged by Las Palmas equalling 0.5.

Coming into this clash, UD Las Palmas haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

↔️ Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head meetings stretching back to 10/03/2017, there has been little between the sides with Espanyol winning 2 of those games, UD Las Palmas 2 and 2 being draws in regulation time.

A combined sum of 19 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 11 of them for Periquitos and 8 coming from Las Palmas. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.17.

📰 Team News: Espanyol

In all likelihood, Periquitos could use the 4-3-3 formation this time with Joan Garcia, Omar El Hilali, Fernando Calero, Leandro Cabrera, Carlos Romero, Edu Exposito, Urko Gonzalez, Pol Lozano, Jofre Carreras, Roberto Fernandez and Javier Puado.

📋 Team News: UD Las Palmas

Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there’s just a single fitness issue for the UD Las Palmas manager Diego Martínez to contend with. Kirian Rodríguez (Lymphatic cancer) misses out for this game.

We reckon that UD Las Palmas appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Dinko Horkas, Viti, Juanma Herzog, Scott McKenna, Mika Marmol, Javier Munoz, Dario Essugo, Enzo Loiodice, Adnan Januzaj, Oliver McBurnie and Manuel Fuster.

✨ Prediction

In this match, Espanyol are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, UD Las Palmas won’t find it easy getting on the scoresheet although we do think it’s probable that they will be being dangerous for periods.

Therefore, we are anticipating a 3-1 winning score for Espanyol by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
