Espanyol vs Athletic Bilbao
Competition – Spanish Primera
Stadium – RCDE Stadium
Date: 5th November 2018
Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Espanyol will be looking to build on their bright start to the season when they welcome Athletic Bilbao in this game, while their visitors will be looking to finally get their season started with a good result in this game.
The visitors started their season with a win over Leganes, but that has looked like it happened last season as they have not won any league game since that time.
There are just four teams in the Spanish topflight who are yet to post two wins in the league this season, and Athletic Bilbao are one of them, with 70 percent of their games ending in draws.
Espanyol have turned their home into a slaughter ground for visiting teams this season, and they will be looking to build on that with another win in this game.
The Catalans have almost everything going for them at the moment with a solid defence, good midfield and an attack that can get them the three points.
Borja Iglesias seems to have taken over from Gerard Moreno this season in terms of scoring goals as he has already netted 5 times in La Liga this season.
Espanyol have conceded just a single goal in all of their home games this season, and they are also the only team in the league to have won all of their home games so far.
Bookmakers have priced Espanyol up as steady favourites to come out on top while punters are treating Bilbao as a team who have to win sooner rather than later as their odds don’t reflect their struggling form.
