The Periquitos faced a defeat at the hands of Real Betis in their previous LaLiga fixture. Espanyol took an early lead, but conceded two goals in the second half due to their poor defence.

Players to Watch

Salomon Rondon (Real Oviedo)

Salomon Rondon is going to play an important role in the attacking front for Real Oviedo. Even though he has only been able to score one goal in seven matches, Rondon is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. He will be looking to change his approach to help the hosts.

Pere Milla (Espanyol)

Despite being a midfielder, Pere Milla is the top goal scorer for Espanyol in the LaLiga at the moment. In his six appearances, he has scored three goals. He can regulate the ball well in the midfield and can surely be a big issue for the opponents.

Milla will be looking to step up to help his side.
