A Espanyol with two very different faces

The defeat suffered last Sunday in Vallecas did nothing more than confirm that the Spanish has a serious problem when playing away from Cornellà-El Prat. The numbers are not deceiving: this is one of the best teams in La Liga Santander when he acts as a local and at the same time one of the worst when he does it at home.

Specifically, so far in the championship the Spanish from Vicente Moreno has added 17 points at home, a record with which he equals Real Madrid and Barça in the third drawer of the podium and only surpassed by 19 of the Sevilla and the 22 of Vallecano Ray to whom he succumbed on Sunday. But as for the points obtained as a visitor, the income of the parakeet box is limited to 3 so far this edition of LaLiga (3 draws and 5 defeats) and this undoubtedly represents a huge burden.

The next month and a half, key

In these, and positioned in the comfortable zone of the classification, the Spanish faces in the next month and a half of LaLiga five games that promise to mark his future in the championship. Five matches that, depending on the results obtained, promise to dictate whether or not the Blue and Whites are there to fight for something more than permanence.

Consecutively those of Vicente Moreno they will receive a Levante that accumulates 24 matches of LaLiga without winning, will visit Celtic and Valencia, you will receive Elche and will travel to Cádiz. With the exception of Valencia, which this past weekend overtook them, these are teams that are below the Spanish in the table, and therefore the parakeet frame cannot fail. Neither at home nor outside.
