At 9 p.m. Beijing time on February 20, the 25th round of La Liga is about to usher in a focus battle, with Espanyol playing Sevilla at home. After the last round of home draw by Barca, espanyol suffered 5 consecutive rounds of La Liga winless, the team fell into a crash situation, gradually approaching the relegation zone, this time against the second-ranked Sevilla, the Spaniards are unlikely to win, this game is not in the early morning, domestic fans do not need to stay up late, I hope Wu Lei has a good performance.
After returning to La Liga in the new season, espanyol performed well in the first half, ranking in the top ten of the table, with a home record of 6 wins and 1 draw, beating the leader Real Madrid.
Since entering the New Year, Espanyol has gone high and low, whether it is against the four teams or the relegation team, they cannot win, and the performance continues to be sluggish.
Last weekend, Espanyol played at home to Barcelona, led 2-1 in the second half, was equalized by Barcelona in the last minute, and finally ended 2-2, with 3 points turned into 1 point, and the team suffered a five-round winless game, after losing to Elche, Bilbao, Real Betis, and the draw with Cadiz.
The Spaniard currently has 28 points in 24 rounds, and only 2 points in the last five rounds, resulting in the fall of the table from ninth to fourteenth, and the advantage over the relegation zone has been narrowed to 8 points, and now the relegation is really unstable.
There is not much time left in espanyol's buffer, and now it is about to play at home against the powerful Sevilla, who has accumulated 50 points in 24 rounds and is in second place in La Liga.
In the last three home games, Espanyol have been 1-2 Elche, 1-4 Real Betis and 2-2 Barcelona, with consecutive winless and sluggish form. In addition, espanyol lost 2-0 away to Sevilla this season, and has not won in the past seven consecutive games, the gap between the strength of the two teams is large, and the state is not good, the Spaniards have booked this winless game in advance, it is too difficult to win.
The game started at 9 p.m., so domestic fans don't have to stay up late to watch it, and most want to see Wu Lei play and have a good performance. In the last 9 rounds of La Liga, Wu Lei has only played off the bench against Athletic Bilbao, and the other 8 games have been sitting on the bench, and they have been unable to break the la Liga goal drought this season, and the last time he scored in La Liga was on June 13, 2020.
If Wu Lei can score against Sevilla, he can win the first goal in La Liga for 617 consecutive days, and then win more appearances.
