Match Facts:
Espanyol (17th, 7 pts)
- Los Pericos are on a mission to finally claim their first home victory of the campaign. The longer their barren run in front of their fans goes on, the more every match on their own patch becomes something akin to a must-win. Indeed, the Catalans have only come away with three points on one occasion this season and that was away to CA Osasuna.
- Having seen his team draw blanks in their last three games, Quique Sanchez Flores's other priority right now is to get Leo Baptistao, Pablo Piatti and Gerard Moreno firing on all cylinders. The Brazilian attacker spoke about this subject in the build-up to the game: "There is no cause for concern. We're confident and raring to score goals," he said.
Eibar (8th, 11 pts)
- After being beaten by Osasuna this past Monday and drawing with Real Madrid two matchdays ago, Jose Luis Mendilibar's men are looking to return to winning ways in order to keep flying high in the top half of the table.
- While Espanyol are out to cure their home woes, Eibar have a case of travel sickness to contend with: the Basques have only won one of their last 14 LaLiga Santander away games, having drawn three and lost the other 10.
