Espanyol, Recent FormIt's fair to say Espanyol will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Valencia, a match that ended in a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Valencia managed 19 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Whilst manager Luis García will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 33 of their 37 games this season.
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.
On an individual basis, José Joselu will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Espanyol's last 6 league games.
Almeria, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Almería and Real Valladolid in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 23 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Real Valladolid who had 8 attempts and 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 19 most recent trips.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 1 of their 18 league games on the road.
Lázaro Marques will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Almería.
It was one to forget for Espanyol last time they met Almería in the league, falling to a 3-1 defeat.
The Rojiblancos defence has struggled at RCDE Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits.
Almería has a poor track record in the league when they visit Espanyol, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Espanyol manager Luis García will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer has a number of injury concerns in his Almería squad to contend with: Leo Baptistão (Achilles tendon), Chumi Brandáriz (Muscle), Kaiky Fernandes Melo (Thigh), Martin Šviderský (Cruciate ligament) and El Touré (Ligament)
