Espanyol go into this match with ten wins, eleven draws and fifteen defeats. They were defeated 1-0 by Zaragoza in their last away game and they still have problems in front of goal. Los Perequitos netted only 27 goals in 36 matches. Before the season, Espanyol looked like a team who could make a strong impression after adding some good players to their already talented squad.

Osasuna beat Deportivo 3-1 at home in the 36th round. Their main goal was to ensure their Primera Division status but they must score more goals to stay away from relegation next season. Masoud and Iranian international Nekounam will have to take more responsibility with passing distribution to the forwards. The defence was the solid unit they were a year ago.
