Barcelona vs Espanyol preview
Barcelona
Xavi Hernández’s men will try to get their seventh straight LaLiga win when they face Espanyol at home after the World Cup break.
The Catalan giants are having a very solid season in the domestic competition, as they have grabbed 37 points, winning 12 matches and only one draw and one defeat.
Barça, who defeated Osasuna (2-1) in their last league clash, will face Intercity in the Copa del Rey on January 4 and will play against Real Betis in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup on January 11.
After their Champions League fiasco, Barcelona will try to focus on winning LaLiga and also try to get as far as possible in the Europa League, where they will be facing Manchester United in the round of 32.
Espanyol
In contrast, Espanyol are in a very different situation in LaLiga, as Los Blanquiazules are sitting 16th in the standings, only one point away from the relegation zone. They have only won twice in the league this season.
The last time Espanyol were in action in the competition was against Villarreal on November 9, a game that they ended up losing 1-0.
However, Diego Martínez’s pupils have played twice in the Copa del Rey since their last league game, defeating both Rincón and Atlético Paso.
