Prediction: 1-1
Espanyol
There will be fireworks when Sporting Gijon and Espanyol, the two old rivals, face each other at Estadio El Molinon in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 encounter. Sporting aim to build on a 3-1 win over Albacete and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Victor Campuzano, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, whereas both Giovanni Zarfino and Axel Bamba are major doubts.
Los Periquitos, meanwhile, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Leganes and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at los Rojiblancos. Considering that Espanyol will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Keidi Bare misses out through suspension, while all Antoniu Roca, Omar El Hilali, and Pol Lozano remain on the sidelines with injuries.
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.
