Prediction

  • Athletic Club aim to reignite their winning form in front of their passionate supporters following a recent draw and defeat against Sevilla and Girona, respectively. Ernesto Valverde's side are determined to reclaim their position at the league's summit with a win as poor finishing, missing three penalties, though one was a retaken, cost them three points against Girona.
  • Conversely, Espanyol, currently positioned 14th, ride the momentum of their recent victory against RCD Mallorca. The team strives to distance themselves from the relegation zone, seeking to continue their positive streak and climb the league standings but the worry for them is all their wins have come at the RCDE Stadium.
