Espanyol, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Real Oviedo will have left the Espanyol squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 16 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Stage Front Stadium, marks a good spell of home form for Espanyol.
On an individual basis, Martin Braithwaite will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Stage Front Stadium having scored 5 goals in Espanyol's last 6 home games in the league.
Real Zaragoza, Recent FormReal Zaragoza will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Leganes. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Leganes who had 5 attempts and 0 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, but playing away from home, they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
The Real Zaragoza travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Víctor Mollejo, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league, Los Blanquillos have been unable to break through Espanyol's defence and find the back of the net. Playing at home, Espanyol have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Zaragoza.
In the league, Zaragoza have not won any of their last 3 meetings with Espanyol.
With no real injury worries, Espanyol manager Luis Miguel Ramis will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Zaragoza manager Fran Escribá ahead of this clash, with Quentin Lecoeuche (Broken collarbone) missing out, which gives Escribá a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
