Espanyol vs Villarreal Match Preview
Will Villarreal finally end their demoralizing away record since drawing one a piece against Barcelona at the Camp Nou in January?Well, the answer should actually be ‘YES’ if the Yellow Submarines want to pursue their fight for an Europa League finish at least.
Statistics reveal that Villarreal have conceded as much as 11 goals in their last three away trips.
This is the result of their 4-1 lost to Valencia which followed with a 1-0 defeat in Mallorca and the recent 6-2 trouncing at the Santiago Bernabeu.
On match-day 24 however, Villarreal bounced back on their own turf in front of barely 15,000 spectators.
Joseba Llorente’s 36th minute goal was enough for the hosts to make the difference. Now can they follow this victory with another one on Sunday?
Looking at head to head statistics between these two teams, Villarreal are not favored to bag all three points.
The last time the Yellow Submarines beat Espanyol away was almost five years ago, in September 2005. The pair played out a goalless draw earlier this season besides.
While Villarreal will want to clinch all three points at the Cornella-El Prat stadium, Espanyol will play to reproduce the 3-0 defeat which they inflicted on their opponents back in January 2008.
Espanyol are 15th in La Liga standings and with the aim of distancing themselves the most from the relegation zone.
In terms of psychological battle, the match promises to be exciting enough!
