Espanyol, meanwhile, comes into this match with a mixed record, having won three, drawn none, and lost seven of their last ten matches. They have averaged 1.4 goals scored per game, but their defense has suffered, conceding an average of 2.2 goals per match. This indicates that they have struggled both offensively and defensively, which could play a significant role in this matchup.

Head-to-Head
These teams have not played against each other recently, making it difficult to predict the outcome based on historical data. However, the advantage of playing at home could benefit Barbastro, even as they face a team from a higher division like Espanyol.

Prediction
Given the current forms of both teams, a prediction for Barbastro to cover a handicap of +1.5 seems reasonable, as they have performed well at home in this regard. With Espanyol’s recent struggles, it is also expected that the total goals in the match will exceed 2.5, given their tendency to concede. Additionally, it is anticipated that Espanyol will take fewer than 5.5 corners based on their recent performances. Overall, an intriguing match is expected, with Barbastro aiming to leverage their home advantage against a struggling Espanyol side.
