Team News

Espanyol
Getafe
  • Manu Morlanes and David López remain out with short-term injuries, but Aleix Vidal returns from suspension.
  • Espanyol have been experimenting with many formations this season, but continuing with a 4-2-3-1 shape with two defensive midfielders would be sensible considering Getafe have been potent in front of goal recently.
  • The time of Sabit Abdulai's return is still unclear, but Getafe will be missing Aleñá, Damián Suárez and Jorge Cuenca against Espanyol through suspension.
  • Enes Ünal has been in electric form in front of goal in the last few weeks, but Sandro's place alongside the Turk could be contested by Mayoral.

Prediction

  • Espanyol are going through a torrid time at the moment and they're welcoming Los Azulones off the back of a heavy 5-1 loss at Vilarreal. Zero wins in seven LaLiga games won't convince Espanyol fans coming into this match, nor will the fact that they've conceded 18 goals since said last win, a 2-1 victory at Mestalla on New Year's Eve.
  • Getafe are flying at the moment when considering the situation they found themselves in earlier in the campaign. Half of their LaLiga wins this term have come since the New Year and they have also scored 14 goals in that period.
  • With that being said, Getafe are far from strong away from home, giving their form a tint of inconsistency, so a draw in this game is the likely outcome.
