Prediction: 1-1
Espanyol
There will be fireworks when Cadiz and Espanyol face each other at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla in what is expected to be a close La Liga encounter. The Yellow Submarine aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Sevilla and Osasuna, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Periquitos. All Jose Mari, Anthony Lozano, and Jon Ander Garrido are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Catalans, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Levante and Valencia, while losing to Celta Vigo and Elche. Since both sides are eager to return to winning ways in La Liga, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Espanyol defender Adria Pedrosa serves a one-game ban, while midfielder David Lopez continues to miss out with injury.
Highlighted Player (Diego Lopez):
Diego Lopez is a Spanish goalkeeper who plays for Milan in the Serie A. Lopez was born in Paradela on 3 November, 1981 and he played for Lugo during his youth career. He made two appearances for Lugo at senior level as well, but in 2000 he joined Real Madrid.
The 196-cm-tall shoot-stopper played for both Real Madrid C and Real Madrid B and he made just two appearances for the first team during his first spell at Real Madrid. After spending five seasons at Villarreal (2007-2012) the Spanish goalkeeper played for Sevilla in the 2012/2013 La Liga campaign, but he made no more than eight league appearances for los Sevillanos.
He returned to Real Madrid on January, 2013 and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular, replacing Iker Casillas in the starting XI. However, Real Madrid fans wanted to see Iker between the posts and, as a result, Diego Lopez was forced to join Milan in 2014. Lopez has only one cap for Spain national team.
Highlighted Team (Espanyol):
Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901 the Catalan club changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. Los Periquitos used to play in bright yellow shirts in the past, but current colour of the team’s home kit is blue and white.
Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
The likes of Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles and Mauricio Pochettino are players with most appearances for the Catalan outfit. Espanyol play their home games at Estadio Cornella-El Prat and the capacity of the stadium is 40,500. Los Periquitos have never participated in the Champions League.
