Espanyol will welcome Real Oviedo to Estadi Cornellà-El Prat in La Liga on Monday. The visitors have won just three of their 26 league games and are at the bottom of the standings. Periquitos have 10 wins and are in seventh place.
The hosts have endured a winless run in 2026 thus far and will look to secure their first win of the year. They met Elche in their previous outing and were held to a 2-2 draw. Kike García broke the deadlock in the seventh minute, and Carlos Romero restored their lead in the 57th minute. They conceded from the penalty spot in the 90th minute.
Thanks for the submission!
Los Azules failed to score for the second match in a row in their 3-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano last week. It was their 15th loss of the league campaign.

Charles Picke and Edu Expósito are suspended for the hosts. Javi Puado is a long-term absentee, while Fernando Calero and Antoniu Roca will undergo late fitness tests.
Los Azules have failed to score in consecutive games for the first time in 2026 and will look to return to goalscoring ways. Notably, they have conceded three goals each in their last four away games.
Leander Dendocker, Thiago Borbás, Ovie Ejaria, Eric Bailly, and David Costas are all major doubts for the trip to Barcelona.
Periquitos are unbeaten in their last 11 home meetings against the visitors and should make the most of their home advantage to secure a win.
