Espanyol have a record of four wins, four draws and 11 defeats from their 19 league matches this season, which has left them in 18th spot in the division, one point behind 17th-placed Alaves and one point ahead of 19th-placed Real Valladolid.

Manolo Gonzalez's side have the joint-second worst defensive record in the league this season, conceding 31 times in their 19 matches, and that will need to improve in order to stand a chance of avoiding relegation in 2024-25.

The Catalan outfit have actually drawn three of their last four league games, including a 1-1 with Leganes last time out, but they have not been victorious since a 3-1 home success over Celta Vigo at the end of November.

The White and Blues have also lost their last two La Liga matches against Real Valladolid, including a 1-0 reverse earlier this season, but they beat Friday's opponents 2-0 in the corresponding clash in the Segunda Division during the 2023-24 campaign.
