Espanyol, with the last victory against Mirandés at the Stage Front Stadium (3-0), shows the two faces that it presents this season in the Second Division: it is a fearsome team at home, but it is greatly diluted when playing as a visitor.
The figures of the blue and white team as host They are the best in LaLiga Hypermotion. The Catalans, third in the standings, have 31 points at home, the same as Burgos, eleventh. The parakeets are also the top scorers at home, with 30 goals please.
Espanyol’s balance at the Stage Front Stadium is overwhelming and has become one of its main assets to dream of promotion to the First Division: nine wins, four draws and a single defeat. This setback occurred against Leganés on the twelfth matchday by a tight 0-1.
Away from Cornellà-El Prat, however, the face of Espanyol is very different. If Espanyol is the best team at home, it would be the thirteenth block in the Second Division in a hypothetical away classification: it has thirteen points in thirteen games with a record of three wins, four draws and six losses.
His numbers in front of goal also fell apart and went from the thirty goals scored at home to the thirteen achieved on the move. In fact, to find the last triumph of the blue and white. As visitors we must go back to October 5, 2023, against Cartagena (0-2).
Collective and individual performance clearly suffers as a visitor. One of the most obvious examples is forward Martin Braithwaite, top scorer in the category and for Espanyol with 16 goals. Only three of these goals by the Dane have been away from the Stage Front Stadium.
The coaching staff and the footballers assume that they must improve their level at home, key to consolidating themselves in the direct promotion positions of the Second Division classification. This Saturday, the Catalans visit Eibar in Ipurua, second placed and one of the most solid teams in their stadium.
