Team News

Espanyol
Almeria
  • Jhon Cordoba is nearing a return to fitness after training with the full squad midweek.
  • Javi Lopez is still struggling to be fit. A hamstring strain has seen him train by himself in the gym this week.
  • Abraham is unlikely to recover in time. It is thought his ankle injury is likely to keep him out.
  • Marcos Tebar has picked up a one-game suspension.
  • Sebastian Dubarbier is a doubt and will be assessed closer to kick-off.

Prediction

  • Almeria need 10 points to guarantee top-flight football for next season. However, history is against them. In the last 10 La Liga seasons, no team situated in the bottom three has been able to pick up more than nine points from the last 12 available.
  • Espanyol are not mathematically safe, though they sit in 10th place. A win here however could see the Catalans confirm their place in the Primera Division.
  • Both teams enter this game in woeful form. Between them, they have just one point in the last eight games. Espanyol, in their defence, have not been playing bad, but a mixture of bad luck coupled with some lapses in concentration have cost them.
