Prediction: 2-1
Gijon
Espanyol will be aiming to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive when they take on Sporting Gijon in the La Liga 2 round 38. Los Periquitos have suffered only one loss at home this term, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite, who scored his 20th goal of the season in a 2-2 draw with Elche, while all Nico Melamed, Omar Sadik, and Eduardo Exposito remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, are eyeing a spot in the playoffs, but given their under-par performances in back-to-back defeats to Elche (1-2) and Sporting Gijon (0-3), we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. Forward Victor Campuzano is a major doubt, while both Rober Pier and Juan Ferney Otero are back from suspension.
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.
