THE PREDICTION

Espanyol come into this on the back of a 2-2 draw away to struggling Elche at the weekend. That result has extended the Catalans’ impressive run of form to just one defeat in their last six matches and Espanyol now come into this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting comfortably in the middle-of-the-table. They now come up against an Athletic Bilbao side that come into this on the back of back-to-back victories since the international break. The Basque side have had just 14 goals come in their opening nine matches so far this season whilst the hosts have scored ten and conceded ten. Given that, this game is likely to be a low-scoring encounter.
