Espanyol will face the absolute ‘final’ in Butarque this Friday, as they will visit a leader, Leganés, where they are separated by only 4 points in the standings. And the recent day has been great for the parakeets, in the position of promotion, seconds after defeating Albacete and direct competitors have failed.
The parakeet locker room is well aware that marking Butarque would be synonymous with delivering a brutal blow of authority, making it clear that if they win, the Spaniard is a serious candidate to climb the direct ticket. But Butarque is a square historically strangled by the Catalans.
Of the six visits made by Espanyol to Leganés between the First and Second Divisions, they won only two, compared to four for the Madrid team, without registering a draw at the pepinero field. Final Spanish victory at Butarque dates on May 12, 2019, a 0-2 with two goals from Borja Iglesias, first.
Nobody can sleep in the nearby Second Division, which is why Espanyol are preparing for the match with Leganés, an important event where Manolo González’s anger He cannot rely on two key pieces in his eleven: Aguado and Puado to be sanctioned after the first was sent off against Albacete and the striker picked up his fifth yellow card.
