Barcelona take on Espanyol in what promises to be the mostexciting Catalan Derby this decade. Barcelona, who are ranked second in theSpanish la Liga, after Real Madrid, have only won three of their seven homegames this campaign and have failed to score more than one goal in five ofthose matches. However, with legends like Lionnel Messi, David Suarez and Neymar in their ranks, and with the excitement that comeswith derbies, the Blaugrana are bound to outdo themselves in this clash.Espanyol, who are on a 10-match unbeaten run have solid defense, which coachQuique Sanchez Florez will most certainly reinforce for this clash. Florez hasdone a commendable job with a relatively new midfield and it is expected that hewill try to run the match from this position. Pablo Piatti, who has been at theend of numerous assists for goals, is doubtful for this match, but there is achance that Florez might assign him duty, even if it is towards the end of thematch. This match does not look like it will have numerous goals, but itcertainly will be one of the most thrilling ties of the La Liga.
