Nine certainties and two doubts in the Espanyol lineup

As the previous season in LaLiga SmartBank demonstrated, Vicente Moreno is one of those coaches who doesn’t make too many changes when things are going well. And this Espanyol scores after two consecutive victories in the championship that settle it in the middle zone with a more propitious calendar to continue ascending. That is why, in the Martínez Valero, no type of revolution is expected, but rather a continuity idea.

With Diego López untouchable in the goal and as the goal that makes the most stops, the defense seems immovable. Aleix Vidal, waiting for Moreno’s conversation with the doctors, would not displace Óscar Gil from the team, So the side who returns to what was his home will be accompanied by Sergi Gómez, Leandro Cabrera and Adrià Pedrosa. Only eight goals against is the best guarantee.

Ahead, and after his return to Cádiz, David López will be accompanied by Sergi Darder. An immovable couple. Accompanied by Óscar Melendo or Manu Morlanes. Herein lies the first of the doubts. At the gates of a week-long day, and with the good minutes in the RCDE Stadium from the youth squad, Moreno could give prominence to the former Villarreal player to make a more effective midfield in defensive transitions.

The second of the unknowns brings us back to Aleix Vidal. Together with Nico Melamed and Loren Morón form the triangle that can act on the right wing, with Adri Embarba on the left and Raúl de Tomás at the attack point. It remains to be seen if Loren’s formula has continuity in order that the player, who does not quite fit in, acquires more confidence. Melamed or Vidal can be your replacement on one side.
