Goal Statistics

Espanyol have been reliable in attack of late, finding the net in 5 consecutive La Liga outings. Their PG of 1.7 against Girona on Friday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Espanyol's defensive record is to be admired, J. González Álvarez's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive La Liga outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Girona makes sense in this context.
