Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Elche. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Elche, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
There will be mixed feelings from Periquitos, while they've been undefeated in their last 11 league games, they've drawn their last 3.
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.
Sporting Gijon, Recent FormLast time out Villarreal B inflicted an embarrassing 3-0 home defeat on Sporting Gijon. Miguel Ángel Ramírez will expect an immediate reaction from his players in this match. In that game they recorded 57 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 16 shots on goal.
Ángel Ramírez will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
