Alcorcón vs RCD Espanyol - 30/05/2021
5115
Espanyol achieved promotion back to La Liga and can win the division on matchday 42 with a victory of Alcorcon. Espanyol and Mallorca have both achieved promotion and are now fighting for the top spot in the division.
Alcorcon have not had the success that Espanyol has this term. They are 17th in the division and could be relegated to the third division on the final day of the campaign.
Just one point has Alcorcon outside of the bottom four.
A loss on matchday 42 would relegate Alcorcon as three teams could overtake them on the final day. Lugo, Logrones, and Sabadell could all rescue their seasons with a victory and Alcorcon loss.
Espanyol go into the game having taken 11 points from their last 18 on offer. They outscored the last six opponents 12-4.
They have the second-best away record in 2020-21 with 34 points from 58 on offer. Espanyol have only conceded 15 goals on the road this term. They have been brilliant and are unbeaten in six straight games away from home.
Alcorcon took just seven points from their last 18 on offer in the league. Three of their last six games ended in losses. Their attack has been poor with just four goals tallied over the course of the last six matches.
The defence only conceded five times in those six fixtures.
They are unbeaten in four of their last six matches in the league at home. Still, Alcorcon are –4 in goal difference at home. They have taken 26 points from 58 possible at home.
Alcorcon manager Juan Antonio Anquela has two players on the injury list going into the game at the weekend.
Midfielder Juan Nunez Aguilera is suffering from discomfort which could keep him out of the team. The same goes for defender Fidel Escobar.
Espanyol coach Vincente Moreno has three players on the injury list this week. Midfielder Fran Merida is a doubt due to discomfort.
Forward Raul de Tomas is a doubt due to a positive COVID-19 test. Defender Miguelon is a doubt due to a muscle strain.
El Magico posted a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture versus Alcorcon. De Tomas got the winner in the 75th minute. De Tomas has already stated that he will remain at the club next term.
Espanyol are cruising toward a return to La Liga. El Magico can win the La Liga 2 title this weekend with a victory over Alcorcon.
They should get that win in another low-scoring game. Expect another win to nil for Espanyol.
