Espanyol desperate for points

Espanyol sit second from bottom in La Liga but they are just one point adrift of safety with three games remaining.

The Catalan outfit take on Atletico Madrid on Wednesday and will feel they can get something out of the game having claimed a point in the reverse fixture.

Los Colchoneros have already secured their place in next season’s Champions League and have little left to play for – aside from finishing ahead of city rivals Real Madrid.

Both teams to score appeals

Goals at both ends has been a feature of recent meetings between these two sides as both teams have scored in each of the last five meetings.

Espanyol have only failed to score in one of their last nine at home, with both team scoring in six of those games, and Atleti have conceded in each of their last four away.

Espanyol can claim key win

Espanyol claimed a vital 2-1 win at Rayo Vallecano at the weekend and can back that up with a repeat 2-1 win over Atleti.

The visitors have little left to play for and lost 1-0 at Elche in their last away fixture, so they look beatable and Espanyol have shown they can compete against quality sides of late as they performed well in defeats to Sevilla and Barcelona.

Veteran Espanyol forward Joselu looks a good contender for a goal as he has hit 15 goals in 32 La Liga games, with three of those coming in his last five appearances.
