Espanyol and Levante will open their 2026-27 La Liga campaigns against each other at RCDE Stadium on Sunday, with both sides looking to begin the season on a positive note. Espanyol finished 11th last term after a dramatic decline in the second half of the campaign, having looked capable of competing for European places earlier in the season. Manolo Gonzalez’s team have made four additions during the summer, including Alex Calatrava, Unai Nunez, Quilindschy Hartman and Gabriel Moscardo, but their pre-season ended with a 3-1 defeat to Coventry City. Levante will also be determined to improve after narrowly avoiding relegation last season. They finished 16th with 42 points, the same tally recorded by relegated Mallorca, highlighting how close the survival battle became. Luis Castro’s side have been active in the transfer market, bringing in six new players, although they have lost promising forward Carlos Espi to Real Madrid after his release clause was triggered. Their pre-season ha

The home form of Espanyol this season has been solid. In their last five home games, they've secured three wins, one draw, and one loss. They've scored nine goals and conceded five, averaging 1.5 goals per game and conceding 1.0 goal. Their defense has been particularly impressive, keeping clean sheets in their last three home games, showing great defensive tenacity. However, the team is facing an issue with their star forward, David López, who is sidelined due to a knee injury. His absence will directly impact the team's attacking firepower. On the positive side, defender Pedro González, despite a minor sprain, is expected to play, which will keep the defensive line relatively intact. On the other hand, Levante's away form has been lackluster. In their last five away games, they've only won one, with two draws and two losses. They've scored four goals and conceded six, with an average of 0.8 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded per game. Their defense has been leaky, conceding seven

In their opening encounter of the new La Liga season, both teams are eager to secure a positive start. The focus of this match lies on the offensive and defensive battles on the flanks. For Espanyol, their efficiency in breaking down opponents in positional attacks will be crucial. They need to find effective ways to penetrate the opponent's defense when the game is in a set - piece situation. On the other hand, Levante's ability to capitalize on counter - attacks cannot be underestimated. Their speed and decision - making on the break could create scoring opportunities. The key factor that will sway the outcome of the game is the on - the - spot defensive concentration of both sides. A momentary lapse in focus could lead to a goal for the opposition. In this high - stakes opener, the team that can maintain better defensive discipline and perform well in their key areas of play is more likely to claim the victory.

Arouca finished 7th in the Portuguese Primeira Liga last season, narrowly missing out on a spot in European competitions. In the first round of the new season, they secured a 1-0 victory away against Guimarães, keeping a clean sheet and showing good form at the start. At home, Arouca is adept at a defensive and counter - attacking style, with a decent overall performance in both offense and defense. However, they lacked stamina in the second half of last season. Moreirense, who finished 8th last season, has a similar strength to Arouca. In the first round, they played out a 2-2 draw at home against Braga, demonstrating a threatening attack. But their defense is not very stable. Historically, Moreirense's performance on the road has been inconsistent. Towards the end of last season, they failed to win in consecutive away games. They are not good at initiating attacks when playing away and rely on counter - attacks. In this match, Arouca's home - field advantage and initial good form co

The new season of the Mexican League has seen both Pumas and Querétaro start with 2 wins and 1 loss, showing a similar early - stage performance. Pumas, as the home team, have a strong offensive force. Their fans' support at home gives them an edge. They are good at ball - control and advancing the play, creating opportunities through midfield passing. Their home - ground attack efficiency is quite decent. However, they struggle with finishing. There are times when they can't convert their numerous attacks into goals, and their ability to seal the deal fluctuates. Adding to their woes, their key midfielder, Córdoba, is injured, which has slightly weakened the team's midfield creativity. On the other hand, Querétaro, playing as the away team, adopt a direct counter - attacking style. They are quick in transitioning between offense and defense. While they show some resilience on the road, their away - game defense has many holes. When facing teams that like to control the ball, their

Salmiendú has shown signs of recovery in recent form. The team won consecutive games after a 2-1 away victory against Atlético Tucumán. They play an open and attacking style, with both sides scoring in 4 out of their last 5 matches. At home, their offense maintains good momentum. However, their defense has obvious flaws, making it difficult to keep a clean sheet for an extended period. They tend to take the initiative and are not good at defending. Huracán had a great morale boost after a 2-0 away win over San Lorenzo. Their squad is more stable, and Ecuadorian forward Caicedo is the key goal-scorer. On the road, they adopt a pragmatic approach, focusing on a solid defensive foundation and having an efficient counter-attack. Nevertheless, their ability to break down opponents away from home is average, and they may get stuck in a stalemate easily. In the historical encounters between Salmiendú and Huracán in recent Argentine Primera División regular matches, Huracán holds a sig
