Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Real Valladolid. Their share of possession in that meeting was 34%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Real Valladolid, who had 11 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 10 of their 11 games this season and recorded 5 clean sheets.
They have been performing well at RCDE Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Goalscorer Martin Braithwaite will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Espanyol.
Leganes, Recent FormIn their last match Leganes enforced their superiority over Amorebieta with a 6-0 home win. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Amorebieta who had 8 attempts and 1 on target.
Manager Borja Jiménez will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 4 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They've kept 6 clean sheets so far this season.
It's been mixed fortunes for Leganes away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
Miguel de la Fuente will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Leganes.
It was one to forget for Leganes last time they met Espanyol in the league, falling to a 2-1 defeat.
The last 4 matches between Espanyol and Pepineros show that Espanyol have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
With no real injury worries, Espanyol manager Luis García will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Jorge Sáenz (Physical discomfort) and Josema Sánchez (COVID-19) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Borja Jiménez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
