Espanyol, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Rayo Vallecano in their last league game, Espanyol will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 36% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Rayo Vallecano who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
Manager Luis García will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 31 of their 35 games this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
José Joselu will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Espanyol.
Atletico Madrid, Recent FormWhen Atlético Madrid last played in the league they faced Osasuna and produced an outstanding 3-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with a 54% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Osasuna, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 16 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Diego Simeone will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Memphis Depay will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Atlético Madrid's last 6 league games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Espanyol will be confident of finding the net in this one against Los Colchoneros, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides.
Atlético have built up an impressive record in the league against Espanyol, going unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Yannick Carrasco will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Atlético against Espanyol in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
With only Martin Braithwaite (Muscle) and José Gragera (Physical discomfort) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Luis García will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Diego Simeone has a number of injury concerns in his Atlético squad to contend with: Memphis Depay (Muscle), Thomas Lemar (Muscle), Marcos Llorente (Muscle), Reinildo Mandava (Cruciate ligament), Jan Oblak (Physical discomfort) and Stefan Savić (Finger)
