Preview
Barcelona and Espanyol meet at Camp Nou, in a match for the 35th round of the Primera División. These teams have tied (2‑2) in the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 04‑01‑2020. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 6 wins in the last 6 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 30‑03‑2019, in a match for the Primera División, Barcelona won by (2‑0). The goals of the match were scored by L. Messi (71' and 89' ) for Barcelona. Although this is a match between 1st and 20th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 1st best in home matches and the 12th best in away matches.

Analysis Barcelona

The home team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 58 points won, after 18 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Real Madrid, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Real Sociedad, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 18 points in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded, against 40 points won at their stadium, with 45 goals scored and 12 conceded.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 14 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 11 of the last 14 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 27 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 3.

Barcelona comes motivated for this match after an away win, by 1-4, against Villarreal: Suárez, Griezmann and Ansu Fati scored the goals of the triumph. The emblem led by Quique Setién operates in a 4-3-3 tactical system, where the three men who occupy the most advanced positions are Messi, Griezmann and Suárez. It is not surprising that for the midfield the players selected by the coach “Blaugrana” are Vidal, Busquets and Sergi Roberto. It should be noted that one of the great weaknesses of the delegation of the city of Barcelona has been the defensive permeability, and it often allows the opponent to create various situations of danger. The home coach should have five absences for this meeting: Ousmane Dembélé, Frenkie de Jong, Júnior Firpo, Jean-Clair Todibo and Samuel Umtiti.

Confirmed Lineup: Marc-André ter Stegen, Clément Lenglet, Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba, Nélson Semedo, Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitić, Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suárez.

Analysis Espanyol

The away team is currently in the 20th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 4 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Atlético Madrid, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Osasuna, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 12 points in away matches and 8 at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 24 conceded at home, against 11 goals scored and 22 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Espanyol has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 14 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 27 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Espanyol enters this performance unmotivated after a home defeat, by 0-1, in the reception to Leganés. Spaniard Raúl de Tomás is the player responsible for putting pressure on the opponent's defence, and its greatest quality is the finishing. Usually, coach Francisco Rufete aligns his team in a 4-4-2 design, where the two most advanced players are Wu Lei and Raúl de Tomás. The coach of the visitors will not be able to count on Jonathan Calleri for the accumulation of yellow cards.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego López, Bernardo Espinosa, Dídac Vila, Leandro Cabrera, Fernando Calero, Victor Gómez Perea, David López, Marc Roca, Pol Lozano, Raúl de Tomás, Adrián Embarba.
