Espanyol, Recent FormThe Espanyol players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Osasuna recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Osasuna, who had 17 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Diego Martínez will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Martínez will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
José Joselu will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Espanyol.
Elche, Recent FormElche will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Real Madrid in which they suffered a 3-0 home defeat. They came away from that fixture with a 38% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Real Madrid, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 15 goals in that same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games. They have not yet found their form in front of goal this season, with an inconsistent scoring record showing no goals in 5 of their 10 league matches this season.
A win for Elche is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 10 games.
On an individual basis, Pere Milla will be looking to cause Espanyol some problems having scored 2 goals in Elche's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Espanyol, losing 1-2 to Elche.
Espanyol will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Los Franjiverdes, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two.
Elche have been unbeaten the last 4 times they have faced Espanyol in the league.
With only Adrià Pedrosa (Hernia) and Rubén Sánchez (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Diego Martínez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Elche manager Jorge Almirón has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
