It is a shock at the top which will take place this Saturday January 13 at 9 p.m. at the municipal da Malata stadium between Ferrol, runner-up to Leganes, and Espanyol Barcelona, 5th in this Liga 2. Ferrol left the Copa del Rey after his defeat in front of Sevilla FC (1-2) last Sunday after offering very good resistance (liberating goal from Sevilla in the 87th minute). Héber Pena’s partners (5 goals) will return to the championship where they remain with 2 great victories in front of Tenerife (3-1) at home and in Valladolid (0-1) shortly before Christmas. Still undefeated at home in Liga 2 just like Gijon and Burgos CF, Ferrol will start as favorites against Espanyol Barcelona. The Catalan club can return to Ferrol in the event of a victory but this mission seems very complicated! The current 5th in Liga 2 was also knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Getafe (0-1) last weekend and has been chasing a success in the league for 4 days. Espanyol, after a setback at Oviedo (2-0), has just conceded 3 draws in a row against Zaragoza (1-1), Andorra (1-1) and Burgos CF (3-3) on December 19 last. A draw in 2nd could satisfy Luis Miguel Ramis and his players.
