Before this round, Espanyol is in 19th place, in the relegation zone, with three points less than Valencia. Five matches are left until the end of the season, and the host will have a big challenge to ensure survival in the league.
In the last round, Espanyol was defeated by Sevilla 3:2, although they had an advantage until the 70th minute. At the end of the match, the guests’ concentration dropped, and the team from Barcelona lost important points. The home team has a highly complex schedule until the end of the championship. After the derby with their great rival Barcelona, they will face Rayo Vallecano, who is fighting for Europe next season, and another challenging match with Atletico Madrid.
Considering that Espanyol also has matches with direct competitors for survival, Valencia and Almeria, it is clear how difficult it is for coach Garcia to save this club in La Liga.

Barcelona is in first place in the table, and with a victory in this match, they will mathematically secure the title. The visitors were eliminated from all other competitions, so they are fully committed to the domestic championship.
Barcelona had a slight drop in form. In April, they were knocked out in the semi-finals of the Spanish Cup with a convincing 4-0 defeat by Real Madrid, followed by draws with Girona and Getafe. After that, they recorded three victories in four matches and are in a good mood to welcome the big city derby.
Coach Xavi has all the essential players at his disposal and will do his best to see his team defeat their big rivals away for the first time since 2018.
