It will be given the start on Friday, February 22, for the twenty-fifth round of the Spanish Championship in its 2018/2019 version. The ball will roll from 17h (Brasília time) at the RCDE stadium in Barcelona to Espanyol and Huesca.
Espanyol
Espanyol defend an unbeaten run of four matches. However, the series is not the most exciting. He has three draws and one win. The first of the equals, including, caused the elimination in the Glass of the King of Spain before the Betis.The other two, as well as the victory, were in the Spanish Championship, where the Catalan club, with 29 points (eight wins, five draws and 11 losses), is the fourteenth on the leaderboard.It still has, in theory, the possibility of dreaming of a place in international competitions. This block is closed by Alaves, sixth placed, which has seven more points. His swinging performance throughout the year, however, does not open space for fans of Barcelona’s poor cousin to have high hopes.So, in the end, you should really care about meeting the basic goal, which is to stay away from the relegation zone. With 14 days to go, Espanyol are six points ahead of Villarreal, eighteenth and first in the sideline region.His homemade performance, however, is far superior. In this respect, the team presents the eighth best LaLiga campaign. Of the 33 points that played in the stadium RCDE, won 21 (seven wins and four losses). Only team that has not yet drawn at home, scored 15 goals and won 16.For the meeting this Friday, coach Joan Rubi will still have to manage a loss from the previous match, in which the team was in the goalless draw with Valencia at the home of the rival. In the second half the defender Javi Lopez (17 matches in the 2018/2019 Spanish League season, no goal) was sent off. You will have to comply with suspension.It should not be the only casualty. They are in the care of the medical department and depend on the exam to know if they will be available to the coach defenders Oscar Duarte (seven games, no goal), Naldo (five games, one goal) and Didac Vila (22 games, no goal); midfielder Hernán Perez (14 games, one goal); and strikers Sergio Garcia (20 games, two goals) and Pablo Piatti (20 games, one goal).
Huesca
Huesca’s reaction trajectory was short. After a draw and two wins, the Spanish championship lantern was beaten at home by Athletic Bilbao 1-0 on Monday, February 18, in a game that ended the tournament’s twenty-fourth round.This prevented him from leaving the twentieth position on the leaderboard. With 18 points (four wins, six draws and 14 losses), he follows six points behind Celta, seventeen and first out of the relegation zone, and now has one less trip to try to reverse it.As a visitor, Huesca is also the worst of LaLiga. Of the 36 points he played away from his dominions, he won only eight (two wins, two draws and eight losses) having scored 11 goals and suffered 24.For the meeting this Friday, coach Francisco Rodriguez must administer four probable casualties due to injury problems. Defensive players Carlos Akapo (12 games in the Spanish 2018/2019 edition without a goal) and Pablo Insua (ten games, no goal) are in the ward; and midfielders Luisinho (six games, no goal) and Gonzalo Melero (13 games, one goal).
