Wolves vs RCD Espanyol
Wolves will meet with Espanyol in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg, where the match was held at Molineux Stadium. Of course this match is very interesting because the Espanyol who entered one of the worst Spanish La Liga teams actually successfully stepped up to this round.
Espanyol is currently at the bottom of the standings because it is only able to carve the results of 4 wins, 7 draws and 13 losses from 24 matches that have been played. Even their worst number of goals with 42 goals.
However, Espanyol performed quite surprisingly even though the domestic slump but when a big team opponent like Sevilla yesterday could play well despite a 2-2 draw and also when the group stage succeeded in becoming group H.
Seeing the visitors’ record as such is a red signal for Wolves to remain vigilant, besides R. Jiménez and colleagues also failed to win in the last 3 matches and need their momentum to rise. In the last 3 matches Tumbang opponents Liverpool then draw in a row to meet Manchester United and Leicester City is actually not too bad for Wolverhampton.
Even Wolverhampton is still considered positive because it can compensate for the team play above them. Wolverhampton themselves are still in the top 4 English Premier League competition and they were also in the group stage yesterday performing fantastic.
Even though Wolverhampton in Group K finished runner-up, their 13 points are 2 points ahead of Espanyol, who only have 11 points as group winners. Seeing their record, it is natural that Wolverhampton is still considered better and more profitable at home is likely to lose Espanyol.
