Espanyol is a newcomer to La Liga. The Barcelona-based club managed to win the Segunda Division playoffs and return to the top tier of Spanish football after a one-year absence. However, there are no illusions about the new season. Everyone understands that Espanyol will once again face a fight for survival.
In the previous round, the “Parakeets” looked very solid against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, even taking the lead in the 55th minute. But that only angered their opponents, who won 4-1. In the first 6 matches, Espanyol has earned 7 points and is positioned in 14th place. Before the match with Real Madrid, the “Parakeets” defeated Alavés (3-2) and Rayo Vallecano (2-1).
After finishing 8th last season, Villarreal has a very clear goal this campaign — to qualify for European competitions. The “Yellow Submarine” is accustomed to playing at least in the Europa League and will fight for that. Fortunately, head coach Marcelino García Toral has built a team that is currently one of the strongest in Spain in terms of quality.
After 6 matches, Villarreal sits in 6th place with 11 points. However, Mallorca and Osasuna have the same number of points. In the first 5 games, Villarreal did not suffer a single defeat, but in the last round, they were thrashed by Barcelona 1-5.
