Lleida vs RCD Espanyol
The current worst Spanish La Liga team, Espanyol, will play away in the first round of the Spanish Copa Del Rey, where they challenge the home team Lleida at Camp d’Esports de Lleida. This match is expected to be a momentum for Espanyol to rise from adversity, because this season is the worst season for Espanyol at the bottom of the Spanish La Liga.
Of the 17 matches that have been played by Espanyol only able to carve 2 wins, 4 draws and 11 defeats. Not only that, Espanyol also scored a total of 12 goals and conceded 32 goals. The unsatisfactory goal statistics are reasonable if defeating Lleida can arouse the confidence of the team players made by Pablo MachÃn and at the same time become a capital before opponents Leganes.
Interestingly in the camp of the host also they are also slumped, Lleida failed to reap victory in the last 5 games in a row. Although Lleida is ranked 6th in the standings, the position is not too bad but it is certainly still not comparable to Espanyol as a team competing in Segunda B. Besides that in the Spanish Copa Del Rey last season also Lleida they were eliminated in the 3rd round .
While Espanyol escaped the bad record this season, but last season they successfully penetrated until the quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey so that the ambition of Darder and colleagues is to replace the failure by reaching the semi-finals. Getting eliminated in the first round is not a place for Espanyol, obviously they have a chance of winning. Most likely Espanyol will win.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.45
