Espanyol vs Barcelona Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Espanyol go head-to-head with Barcelona in La Liga of Spain on January 4. The match is set to start at 15:00 UTC.

Tensions run high as the upcoming encounter sees Espanyol and Barcelona square off once more, 8 months after the previous La Liga face-off which Barcelona won 0-2. Espanyol continues their strong form, having bested Getafe and Rayo Vallecano, so they'll aim to keep their winning momentum going with a victory over Barcelona. Before Barcelona, Espanyol will play Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, and how they perform in this game could set the tone for their encounter with Barcelona.

Barcelona, fresh off a series of five wins against Osasuna, Eintracht Frankfurt, Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Alaves, approach this match eager to continue their positive form just like their oponents. Though notably, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in ten consecutive away matches. Barcelona have several key matches to navigate before facing Espanyol though, including Villarreal in La Liga and FC Guadalajara in National cup, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Espanyol.

This La Liga clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Espanyol and Barcelona in this campaign. Espanyol’s attacking options, shaped by Manolo Gonzalez’s vision, have been bolstered by Roberto Fernandez and Pere Milla, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Milla has already scored five goals in La Liga this season, while Exposito has been their leading creator in the competition with five assists. Carlos Romero, Kike Garcia and Javi Puado have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Espanyol’s attack.

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford have been pivotal for Barcelona’s attack, crafted under Hans-Dieter Flick’s leadership, combining to deliver important goals and assists. In La Liga, Torres has been Barcelona’s standout scorer with eleven goals, while Yamal remains their top assist provider in the competition with seven. Adding further support are Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
