La Liga - Away against Almeria Espanyol aiming for 3 consecutive victories


The 19th round of La Liga in the 2022/23 season will be a focus match tomorrow. The "little parrot" Espanyol will go to the away game to challenge the newly promoted Almeria, and hopes to score all 3 points to continue to open up the standings and the relegation zone distance.


The Espanyol lost to Bilbao 0-1 in last week's Copa del Rey away game and was eliminated. However, he defeated Real Betis 1-0 at home in the league last weekend and won two consecutive victories. 5 rounds achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.


However, the Espanyol is currently ranked 13th in the standings with 20 points, just 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. In order to widen the distance in the relegation zone, "Little Parrot" only has the option of taking all 3 points in this campaign.


Almeria has no injury problems


In addition, Almeria successfully returned to La Liga after winning the La Liga championship last season. At present, the newly promoted team ranks 14th in the La Liga standings with 19 points. In the past 5 rounds of the league, they have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, including a 2-2 draw with Valencia in the last round of the away game. Meeting the Espanyol in this campaign, Almeria will definitely use the home court advantage to return to the winning track.


In terms of lineup, the Espanyol has Cady Barre and Pedro injured, Braithwaite will continue to help out on the front line, while Almeria has no injuries or players have been suspended, so they can offer a strong team.


Looking back at the past records, the two sides have played against each other 16 times in La Liga. The Espanyol has a slight advantage with 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, but only 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the away game. The last match between the two sides dates back to the 2014/15 season, when the Espanyol drew 1-1 on the road and beat Almeria 3-0 at home.
