Espanyol vs Stjarnan Prediction 25 July 2019

Espanyol hosts Stajrnan in the first leg of the Europa League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 25th at RCDE Stadium (Barcelona)

Espanyol returns to the Europa League with the most ambitious intentions. The team did not shine in this decade, and the fans have not seen in European cups for more than ten years. But everyone remembers how the last coming of Espanyol in 2006/2007 ended with reaching the final of the tournament. Last season, largely due to the luck and help of Sevilla, the team took the last European Cup position in Spain. There are very few changes compared to the previous season. Only coming of Iturraspe from Athletic can still be somehow noted. Espanyol is preparing for European competitions in quite a decent shape. For example, in the match against Lens, we saw 7 players of the last season starting lineup. Considering beginners and injuries, it can be said that the squad has practically not changed.

Well, Stjarnan is not lucky with a draw at all. Although, on the other hand, it is interesting to bring teams of such level to Iceland. In recent years, Stjarnan stably takes 3-5 places, and it’s far away from the champion’s title, but the country is not disgraced in European competitions. I did not like the team game in the first round of qualification. It played with Estonian Levadia, which is constantly kinking in the very first rounds of European competitions. Stjarnan missed a lot of chances at home, gave Levadia its chance, and the real insanity happened in the return match. I can only say that Stjarnan did not look stronger against the backdrop of an opponent, and a goal scored at the end does not do much honor. Moreover, just four days ago, the team played against the country's champion away, and the match turned out to be too energy-consuming. Many people remembered Stjarnan’s campaigns in the Europa League. Lech, Inter, Celtic and Copenhagen came to Iceland. So far, Stjarnan has not played adequately with a rival of this level, especially in the away matches. Besides, the Icelandic team has problems with players.

Of course, much will depend on the mood of Espanyol. Still, it won’t look decent if the team doesn’t score less than three goals to the net of such an opponent. Stjarnan conceded six goals in Milan and five goals in Copenhagen. In my opinion, there is nothing to talk about. Espanyol, even in such a state, is head and shoulders better in terms of physics, plus the team played in friendly matches fielding first eleven. Stjarnan will probably arrive not in the best condition, and the team Barcelona will be able to use it.

Prediction for the match: Espanyol to score over 2.5 goals
