Recent form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Catalan side have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with four out of their last six matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Espanyol have demonstrated resilience at home, securing a notable 1-0 victory against Real Madrid and a 2-1 win over Real Valladolid. However, their away form has been less impressive, with a defeat to Las Palmas and a recent loss to Real Sociedad. The team's goal difference over this period is neutral, having scored and conceded six goals each, highlighting their struggle for consistency. Espanyol's current 16th position in La Liga with 23 points from 23 games underscores their precarious situation, as they battle to maintain their top-flight status.

Athletic Club

Athletic Club have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, but maintain a strong position in 4th place in La Liga. The Basque side have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 11 times in their last six matches across all competitions, with an impressive average of 1.83 goals per game. Their most recent outing saw them secure a convincing 3-0 victory over Girona, demonstrating their potential for high-scoring performances. Defensively, Athletic Club have been somewhat inconsistent, keeping two clean sheets but also conceding four goals in a heavy Europa League defeat to Besiktas. Their matches have been entertaining affairs, with 83% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring in two-thirds of these fixtures. Despite the occasional setback, Athletic Club have maintained an unbeaten run in La Liga since their last league defeat, showcasing their resilience and ambition for European qualification.

Recent home/away form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol have shown impressive resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with three wins and three draws. The team have demonstrated a strong defensive record, conceding only four goals in these games and keeping two clean sheets. Their most recent outing saw them secure a notable 1-0 victory against Real Madrid, highlighting their ability to compete with top-tier opposition. While not particularly high-scoring, Espanyol have managed to find the back of the net consistently, averaging 1.33 goals per game. The 3-1 win against RC Celta stands out as their most prolific performance in this run. Despite their 16th position in the league, Espanyol's home form suggests they are a formidable opponent on their own turf, with two-thirds of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, indicating tight, competitive encounters.

Athletic Club

Athletic Club's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing resilience but also vulnerability on the road. The Basque side have managed two wins, three draws, and one loss in their last six away fixtures, demonstrating their ability to pick up points consistently away from home. However, their defensive record has been a concern, conceding in five out of six matches and shipping four goals in a heavy Europa League defeat to Besiktas. This high-scoring encounter stands out as a particularly poor defensive performance. On a positive note, Athletic Club have been finding the back of the net regularly, scoring in five of their six away games and averaging 1.33 goals per game. The team's ability to secure points on their travels has contributed to their strong league position, currently sitting fourth in La Liga with 44 points from 23 games.
