Team News

Espanyol
Deportivo Alaves
  • RCD Espanyol will face the Alaves without Edu Expósito and with uncertainties surrounding Leandro Cabrera and Fernando Calero due to injuries.
  • El Hilali is likely to return to defense alongside Sergi Gómez if Cabrera and Calero are unavailable, potentially benching Oliván.
  • Deportivo Alavés will travel to the RCDE Stadium with only Hugo Novoa missing due to heel discomfort after returning from the Spanish U-21 team.

Prediction

  • Espanyol, after a shaky start, has shown improvement with four points in their last two matches, including a win over Rayo Vallecano following a draw against Atletico Madrid. Their recent goals by Romero and Valiz were their first of the season, indicating progress. They face a test against Alaves, who have been strong since their defeat on matchday 1 to Celta, boasting two wins and a draw in subsequent games, notably defeating Real Sociedad.
  • Alaves' recent form has been promising, and they aim to continue their positive streak. The upcoming match looks poised for a competitive encounter.
  • Historically, Espanyol has had the upper hand in head-to-head meetings. However, considering the current form of both teams, a score draw seems likely.
