Espanyol, the old club from Catalonia, is the last team to be promoted to the top flight this season. Despite the challenges they have faced, they are starting to show an improvement in their form. In the
Spanish La Liga match on Saturday night, Espanyol successfully collected 3 important points after beating Real Madrid 1-0 at the RCD Stadium from Carlos Romero’s winning goal in the 85th minute of the game.
In the game against Real Madrid, Espanyol used a deep defense method and had only 24 percent possession. Joan Garcia, the home team’s goalkeeper, คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย made 7 saves before taking advantage of a counterattack and Romero scored the goal.
In the home game, winning Real Valladolid 2-1 and Celta Vigo 3-1, the Parrots had 36 percent and 21 percent possession respectively, but were still able to grab 3 points from their sharp finishing
after winning against Los Blancos in the last match. This gives Manolo Gonzalez’s team 23 points, escaping the relegation zone and moving up to 17th place in the table, while also making a record of not losing in the league for 4 consecutive games.
The important factor is their excellent home performance.
Since the start of the 2024/25 season, Espanyol has played 12 home games, with a record of 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, collecting 21 points, the 6th best in the league, with the same points as 5th place Barcelona, who won 7 games and lost 3 games.
If counting only the last 6 games played at home, Espanyol is unbeaten, winning and drawing 3 games each. The last time they lost at home was the game where they opened the RCD Stadium to lose to Sevilla 0-2 in October last year.
In contrast, for away games, Espanyol is the team with the worst record in the Spanish top league, collecting only 2 points and losing 8 games. In addition, they are 1 of 2 teams, along with Valencia. Still unable to find victory away from home,
Espanyol’s remaining 7 home games this season, with the hope of winning to stay safe, include Athletic Bilbao, Girona, Atletico Madrid, Getafe, Real Betis, Barcelona and Las Palmas. This
is the first time in 3 months that Espanyol has risen above the red zone. However, if they want to stay in the top flight, they need to collect more points in away games along with maintaining their strong home form.
