Victorious at the Estadio El Molinon on a goal from Puado at the very end of the match (88th), Espanyol Barcelona took a great option to qualify for the final of these Play-Offs and hope to join La Liga. The Catalan club, undefeated in the league for four months, has just won 3 of its last 4 outings against Real Oviedo (2-1) and ahead of Cartagena (3-0) during the regular phase then at Gijon (0-1) last June 9. Espanyol, who have the 3rd best home record this season (12 wins, 8 draws, 1 loss), will be able to count on the top scorer in this Liga 2, Martin Braithwaite, author of 22 goals. Sporting Gijon has only won 6 of its 21 league trips during this 2023-2024 financial year and knows that this trip to Catalonia will be very complicated with only 1 point taken from its last 3 visits. Sporting Gijon has lost 2 of its last 4 meetings at Leganes (2-1) and ahead of Espanyol (0-1) in the first leg. New disillusionment for Miguel Angel Ramirez’s players?
