Espanyol is confident of making their first blow away from home

Is the last chance of 2021 to break the dire dynamic away from home that has led to Spanish to be the second worst visitor in the league with 3 points out of 27 possible (three ties). Only Levante, the bottom, has worse figures. Luckily, the parakeet block offers a completely different face in Cornellà, but a blow in Mestalla in the form of a triumph it would be a high before starting 2022.

It will be the last meeting of the year and the first of the day 19 of the championship. Neither Valencia nor Espanyol liked this planning of the League too much, but they had no choice but to adapt. The uncertainty caused by coronavirus cases has not helped either. Espanyol announced on Monday seven positives (five players) and the Valencia revealed four cases. Most have already tested negative and could recover in time for the game.

Complicated square

With the still recent memory of the crash in Sweep (3-1), Espanyol knows well what not to do. In Vigo he conceded two goals at the start of both periods. It was a team fragile and soulless. If he repeats performance it will be impossible to add in a complicated square as it is always that of Mestalla. With Jose Bordalás the Levantine frame has greatly improved its performance and chains seven days without falling and three consecutive victories. They have not lost since October against Betis (4-1).
