RCD Espanyol 2-1 Real Valladolid

Current streaks

Recent form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol are currently experiencing a challenging period, sitting in 18th position in La Liga and struggling to find form. The Catalan side have failed to secure a victory in their last six matches across all competitions, with their current winless streak extending to six games. Their goal-scoring woes are particularly concerning, having netted just twice in this period, averaging a meagre 0.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've been more stable, conceding six goals and keeping one clean sheet. Notably, all of Espanyol's recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's most surprising result came in the Copa del Rey, where they suffered a shock 2-0 defeat to lower-league side Barbastro, highlighting their current struggles across all fronts.

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the team alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches. Despite their low league position of 19th, they have managed to secure three victories in this period, including a notable 4-2 away win against Real Ávila in the Copa del Rey, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in their recent fixtures. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding 10 goals in six matches, with a particularly heavy 3-0 defeat to Girona. However, they have shown some defensive resilience, keeping two clean sheets in their last three La Liga matches. The team's goal-scoring has been modest, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, Real Valladolid have managed to bounce back from each of their recent losses with a win, demonstrating a certain resilience despite their struggles in the league.

Recent home/away form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with the team currently on a three-match unbeaten run at their stadium, albeit consisting entirely of draws. Their last home victory came against RC Celta, where they scored an impressive three goals, marking their highest-scoring home match in this period. Defensively, Espanyol have shown improvement, conceding only two goals in their last four home games and keeping a clean sheet against Osasuna. However, their goal-scoring output has dwindled, with only one goal scored in each of their last three home matches. Despite their struggles in the league table, Espanyol have managed to avoid defeat in five of their last six home games, suggesting they are more resilient on their own turf.

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid's away form has been particularly poor, with the team experiencing a concerning run of four consecutive defeats in their most recent outings. Their sole victory came in a high-scoring Copa del Rey match against Real Ávila, where they netted four goals. However, this positive result stands in stark contrast to their league performances, where they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six away games. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game, whilst struggling to find the net themselves with just 1.17 goals scored per match. Notably, 67% of their away fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring encounters, albeit often not in Valladolid's favour. Their current league position of 19th reflects their struggles on the road, with their away form likely a significant contributor to their precarious standing in La Liga.
