Espanyol and the winning wave

Espanyol will be one of the three new teams (together with Mallorca and Rayo Vallecano) in the top flight after an excellent season in LaLiga SmartBank. The parakeet team has gotten used to winning (only lost 18% of matches) and that inertia, in a football where the emotional state also determines the results, is what he wants to accompany him in the championship since the premiere against Osasuna. A trend that has been creeping from the beginnings of LaLiga in the last ten seasons.

Since the 2011-12 season, only 33% of the newly promoted teams occupied the relegation zone in the first ten days. An example was Huesca last year, penultimate with 19 points, or Vicente Moreno's Mallorca two seasons ago, who repeated that position after a weighted start.. The Valencian coach will try to turn the sock and put Espanyol on the largest boat of new arrivals.

50% of the teams meet their first goals and remain in the middle of the table after the first quarter of the championship. Sets like Elche last year (12th) or Getafe, Levante and Girona You do three campaigns, teams that will occupy the 11th, 12th and 13th positions after ten days. There are even other teams that reached the top ten and even in European positions, which would be an outstanding start to the season for the Blue and Whites, whose budget will remain among the middle positions of the championship.

The best promoted of the last ten years was Villarreal, fourth in the 2013-14 campaign. The Valladolid coached by Sergio González placed sixth after the first ten games in the 2018-19 campaign, while the grenade Diego Martínez, a year later, started in seventh position, a status that has been maintained for the rest of the seasons.
