At 01:30 a.m. Beijing time on November 1, the 12th round of the 2021-22 La Liga season will stage a game that will attract the attention of Chinese fans, and the Spaniard of Chinese player Wu Lei will challenge Getafe as a guest.
In the first 11 La Liga battles, the Spaniards were a bit low and high, after the opening 5 consecutive games without winning, they started from the 6th round, gradually improved their state, the last 4 rounds of 2 wins and 2 draws, no defeat. At present, espanyol has 3 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 14 points, temporarily ranking in the middle of the La Liga table.
Opponent Getafe's overall strength is weak, the first 11 rounds of La Liga, they drew 2 and lost 9, a win is difficult to find, only 2 points, the bottom of the points, reduced to La Liga deputy squad leader. With espanyol's recent good form, taking getafe all three points should not be a big problem. It is worth mentioning that due to the red ban of the main Espanyol striker Thomas, Wu Lei is expected to get the opportunity to start in this game. In the last round of the game, Wu Lei was snubbed by coach Moreno and did not get a chance to play. Here's a brief prediction of the list of 11 starters that Espanyol may send this game.
In the goalkeeper position, not surprisingly, the main goalkeeper Diego López should continue to guard the Espanyol goal; in the backline, Moreno is expected to continue to send four defenders to defend the back line, Serch Gomez and Cabrera form a double center-back combination, and Pedrosa and Alex Vidal will play left and right wing-backs respectively.
In terms of midfield, there is no doubt that the main back of the Espanyol midfield responsible for intercepting steals should be captain David López, and the team captain who will form the Espanyol double back combination should be the 27-year-old Spanish midfielder Dadel. In front of the double back, it is expected that manager Moreno will send 3 attacking frontcourt players to lead the team's attack, Melendo will sit on the central axis, Chinese strikers Wu Lei and Embarba will form a strategy around him, and the 3 will be responsible for the team's frontcourt attack.
On the forward line, due to De Thomas' suspension, the frontcourt attacker who replaced him for the start should be 24-year-old Belgian striker Di Mata.
In summary, the last 11 expected starters for Espanyol against Getafe are: Diego López; Pedrosa, Cabrera, Serch Gomez, Alex Bidart; Dadel, David López; Wu Lei, Embarba, Melendo; and Di Mata
