Trio of aces for Espanyol

With 26 points, with four of margin to obtain the direct promotion and nine above the positions that do not give access to the promotion, Espanyol enters a month of November that can finish throwing him. In the classification and emotionally, since the parakeet team connects three top-level rivals against whom you must even improve your performance and touch on excellence to achieve victories.

The first trial by fire will not wait. Face it this same Saturday at Fernando Torres, against Fuenlabrada, and even the schedule seems cheating: 2:00 p.m. The Madrilenians mark precisely that playoff zone, with 17 points, but with the uniqueness that they have not yet lost in their fiefdom, impregnable, while Espanyol did fall on their first visit of the season to Madrid, to face Rayo Vallecano.

Just six days later on Friday next week, Vicente Moreno's men return to the RCDE Stadium to host Girona. An opponent that for the Blue and Whites, paradoxically, is much more difficult to defeat at home, as that has been imposed in the two precedents disputed in Cornellà, both in First. The growing rivalry that was generated during those two seasons will also influence this clash, with intense duels, such as the one that was generated between David López and the experienced Cristhian Stuani.

And the following Thursday, the 26th, Espanyol will travel to the Spanish capital again to face off against a very direct rival in the fight for permanence, in case those previously mentioned were not. It is about Leganés, who was already an opponent last season for avoiding relegation and that in Butarque he dealt one of the hardest blows to the parrots in their free fall, just before Christmas.
