The visitors are currently on a 10-match winless streak, earning only four points in that stretch.

Despite having a two-goal lead with only a couple of minutes left on the clock, Mallorca were unable to hold on for the win against Osasuna last weekend.
Martin Demichelis’ men are now without a win in five consecutive matches, earning only one point in that stretch.
Mallorca have averaged 3.3 corners per game this season, the lowest in La Liga.
Mallorca will enter this game without Jan Salas (ACL), who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, and Takuma Asano, who is closer to returning to the team after a hamstring setback.
Jan Virgili was sent off in last weekend's draw with Osasuna and therefore serves a suspension here, while the trio of Marash Kumbulla, Antonio Raillo, and Javi Llabres have doubts surrounding their availability for the hosts.
On the other hand, Espanyol's fortunes have worsened over the course of the season.
Mallorca have only three clean sheets in 27 La Liga games this season.
Gonzalez's troops were consistently in La Liga's top five during the first half of the season, but with only four points earned from their last 10 league games, they are now in danger of missing out on European football next season.
The former Badalona manager will have to do without Antoniu Roca this weekend, as the midfielder is sidelined with a shoulder injury. However, the 23-year-old is expected to return before the end of March.
Javi Puado suffered a cruciate ligament injury in January in a clash against Levante, ruling him out for the remainder of the campaign.
