The 1:1 result at the end of Espanyol’s previous match against Sevilla was quite surprising. They were considered far weaker than their opponents going in, yet managed to pull ahead in the first half.

Last round saw Real Madrid take the lead in the first half against Real Valladolid and maintain the upper hand up until that final whistle. The matchup was highly favourable, of course, but they might be able to keep that same momentum going against Espanyol.
