At 4:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 19, the 21st round of La Liga is about to usher in a match, with Espanyol playing away to Cadiz. In the last 2 games, Espanyol lost to Elche and Mallorca, La Liga ended with 8 consecutive unbeaten games at home, and the early exit of the Copa del Rey, the team's recent poor form has made this round of away games against Cadiz full of uncertainty, of course, domestic fans prefer That Wu Lei can get the opportunity to play.
In the last round of the league, Espanyol lost 1-2 at home to Elche, the team's 55-year home unbeaten record was ended, and this season La Liga's eight consecutive home unbeaten games also ended. Espanyol previously lost away to getafe at the bottom of the rankings, and now to elche, who is third from the bottom, and Espanyol has become a point-giving boy for the relegation team, and both Getafe and Elche are currently fleeing the relegation zone.
At present, in the La Liga table, espanyol has won 7 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in 20 rounds, ranking 11th with 26 points, 5 points behind the European division and 9 points ahead of the relegation zone.
Currently in the bottom few teams in La Liga, Espanyol are not completely sure of winning, beating Levante and Alaves is a one-goal home win, as well as away losses to Celta, Getafe, Mallorca and other teams.
Now espanyol is playing away again, this round opponent Cádiz has accumulated 14 points in 20 rounds, ranking second from the bottom, the relegation pressure is huge, and the Spaniards naturally do not want to be the points boy of the relegation team.
According to statistics, Espanyol's record against Cádiz away from home is very bad, especially in La Liga, the last la Liga away victory over Cadiz, or 1987, when the 2-0 win, followed by 7 consecutive away games without winning, the most recent away is 0-2 defeat, the record is 4 draws and 3 losses, has been away to 35 consecutive years without away to Cádiz, creating a record of shame.
Judging from the recent instability of the Spaniards, domestic fans are not optimistic that the away game can be completely withdrawn. Of course, domestic fans are willing to stay up late to watch this game, mainly expecting Wu Lei to play, the last 5 rounds of La Liga Wu Lei all sat on the bench, 450 consecutive minutes of games did not play.
Compared with the starter, Wu Lei is now most eager to get a chance to play, which is a prerequisite for scoring goals. Last weekend's Copa del Rey game, Wu Lei missed the opportunity to equalize in the last moment, holding his head in both hands and not believing, now coming to La Liga, Wu Lei wants to fight to break the 584 consecutive La Liga goal drought.
