The Espanyol del Pescailla del Porlan seems to get fattened little by little. The truth is that it has taken, but the recent victories have given him the confidence that this team perhaps needed. Gerar Moreno and Baptistao have honed their marksmanship. The team creates more opportunities that, now, it takes advantage and, perhaps most importantly, it has improved a lot in defense. It is not as easy as before to make a goal. He even managed to defeat Atlético de Madrid in his stadium, something that nobody had done, holding back and waiting for an opportunity that, late, but arrived. Today he faces a team that is good at acting as a local. Athletic Club has not lost in the league since November 5 of last year. That is, 7 games followed without knowing the defeat. It has been amending something a very bad start, but it is still far from a competitive version of the lions, weighed down by injuries and by a system that does not quite fit in the style of Bilbao.
I think Espanyol at home is better than Athletic outside. Besides, it seems to me that the improvement that both have experienced is more substantial in the parakeets. Seven games without losing seems like a good run, but it’s already played.
