La Liga has confirmed the schedule for RCD Espanyol's next home fixture. The pericos will host Deportivo de La Coruña on Saturday 7 November at 16:15 at the RCDE Stadium, in a match corresponding to the twelfth round of LaLiga EA Sports. It will be the team's final home game before the November international break.
A demanding calendar
The match comes at a delicate time for Espanyol, who sit twelfth in the table with eight points from eight games. Their last result was a 1-1 draw away to Malaga, a point that left the team needing a home win. The game against Deportivo presents a key opportunity to improve a recent run of one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five outings.
Before that clash, Manolo González's side will face second-placed Atlético de Madrid at home this coming Saturday. After the break, the schedule continues with trips to Santander and Vila-real, plus a Copa del Rey tie against Sestao. A look at the full fixtures list shows a packed agenda.
The opponent also presses
Deportivo de La Coruña, who visit Barcelona on the same day, arrive at Cornellà-El Prat with four matches ahead of them. Their first game after the last international break was a 3-2 defeat at Anoeta against Real Sociedad. The Galician side, with ten points, sit two above Espanyol in the table, adding even more significance to the 7 November clash. For Espanyol, winning those three points is essential to move away from the relegation places and face the second part of the season with more confidence. The match will be played on Saturday 7 November at 16:15.
