Espanyol take on the visitors Leganes at “Estadi Cornella-El Prat” in the matchday two of the Spanish LaLiga. The game will be played in Barcelona on Sunday, August 27th.
Last season Espanyol settled on the eighth place in the LaLiga standings being one step away from the Eurocups zone. In summer “Periquitos” actively participated in friendly clashes, having got three triumphs, two draws and a single loss in six games. Espanyol entered the new LaLiga season with 1:1 draw against Sevilla on the road which is a quite satisfactory result. Concerning the club’s performance in front of its supporters, “Periquitos” were beaten in last three home encounters with 0:5 aggregated score, but that failures belong to the previous season while the matchup will open a new home season for Espanyol.

In previous season Leganes occupied the 17th position in the LaLiga table. Asier Garitano’s team entered the current season with 1:0 victory over Alaves in face of its fans. Nevertheless, the club went through the average summer break and the visitors will follow up the relegation battle in the new season again with 90% possibility. Leganes have failed to taste triumph at away turfs since the 1st of October 2016 across 16 clashes covering five draws and 11 defeats.
Espanyol and Leganes met twice in their history and the Catalans won both head-to-heads: 3:0 and 1:0. Taking into account the home-field factor and higher football class, I believe that the hosts will get another victory over the rival.
Prediction for the match: Espanyol to win.
