Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
This prediction Ferrol and Espanyol take on each other at Estadio Municipal de Malata in the closing match of Saturday’s program. Ferrol did well to beat both Tenerife and Valladolid in the last two league matches, but Sevilla proved to be a big catch for them in the Copa del Rey clash. Luca Ferrone remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, while fellow midfielder Chuca faces race against the clock to be fit for the Espanyol showdown.
The Catalans, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from the Spanish Cup defeat to Getafe. Ferrol, though, are tough to beat at home and, taking everything into account, we predict the two sides are going to share the spoils in the round 22 game. Defender Oscar Gil is banned for the match, while forward Nico Melamed is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.be released soon.
Highlighted Team (Espanyol):
Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901 the Catalan club changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. Los Periquitos used to play in bright yellow shirts in the past, but current colour of the team’s home kit is blue and white.
Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
The likes of Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles and Mauricio Pochettino are players with most appearances for the Catalan outfit. Espanyol play their home games at Estadio Cornella-El Prat and the capacity of the stadium is 40,500. Los Periquitos have never participated in the Champions League.
