Espanyol welcome Deportivo Alaves at RCDE Stadium, Cornella de Llobregat on Sunday, May 30 at 3:00 PM in a LaLiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Espanyol come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Deportivo Alaves travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Espanyol and Deportivo Alaves have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Deportivo Alaves won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Espanyol win or a draw looks most likely.
