Espanyol has been strong at grinding out results at home. All season long. That’s also what will secure them a new contract. Away from home, however, they haven't been nearly as successful. GA/Home = 1.07. Away, that number rises to 1.87. They were lucky to concede only one goal at home against Girona last time out, as they allowed a dozen shots inside their own penalty area.
Vedat Muriqi is always positioned inside the box and must soon start converting more consistently. He’s had chances for significantly more goals. He has a good partnership with Dani Rodríguez. Some of the biggest chances he has missed have come from crosses by left-back Johan Mojica. 9.00 seems interesting.
