At the decisive moment of the season, Espanyol, who seemed to be fighting for survival, has secured two crucial victories that have allowed them to move away, seemingly for good, from the relegation zone. Two away wins on very difficult pitches against Vallecano and Celta Vigo. Predictions have been overturned by the determination of a team that has no intention of remaining in limbo until the very last days of the Spanish league.
It won’t take much to complete the job and get closer to the 40-point mark, which would mean peace of mind. That’s usually the margin for comfort. And, with a home win against Getafe in the early game of the Spanish league, they would reach 38 points and the party could already be planned. Their current form is too important not to take advantage of it against a team that already has 39 points and seems to have taken its foot off the gas a little. The visitors have lost two of their last three games. Although, it must be said, they have won their last two away games. Home advantage no longer counts in Spain, it seems, but this time it will be decisive again, not least because the Catalan fans are really getting behind their team and will be pushing them on to a third consecutive victory. This is a streak that has not been seen for some time.
