Espanyol hosts Athletic Bilbao in round 11 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 26th at RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat)
Espanyol took points from Elche in the last match. It was an away game, and it ended in a 2-2 draw. The Catalans continue their unbeaten streak. It already amounts to three rounds (two victories and one draw). In general, Vicente Moreno's charges lost only once in the previous six matches of the Spanish championship (three victories and two draws). Before this successful streak, the Budgerigars were close to the relegation zone. Today they are in 11th position. Espanyol earned 13 points in ten rounds. The gap to the TOP-6 is five points. The gap from the relegation zone is seven points. The Catalans scored and conceded ten times. Espanyol won three previous games at home. It is noteworthy that one of the victories was recorded over Real Madrid (2-1).

Like Espanyol, Athletic Bilbao earned points in the last round. However, the Lions gained three of them, beating Villarreal at home (2-1). It was the second consecutive victory for the Basques. Let me remind you that they turned out to be stronger than Alaves in the previous round (1-0). In general, Marcelino's charges are in quite good shape, as evidenced by their recent results. In the last seven matches of the Spanish championship, the team gained four victories and two draws and suffered one defeat. In general, Athletic Bilbao scored 16 points in nine rounds. This is enough to be very close to the European cup zone, Namely, the club is on the 8th line in the standings. The Basques are playing their usual cautious football. In nine matches, they scored only nine goals and conceded five times. Under 2.5 goals scored were recorded in seven games.
Espanyol has historically played successfully at home against Athletic Bilbao. This is best confirmed by a streak of 22 unbeaten matches in a row (in the Spanish championship). Now the Catalans are in good condition to continue this streak. But it will not be easy for them, as the Lions are also showing perfect results. Let me remind you that the Basques have not suffered a single away defeat in the current season of La Liga. They tied three times and gained one victory. I think Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao will share points in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Draw
