From Real Madrid, which has scored 22 goals in eight games, to Alavés, who has only been able to score two, the profitability of the goals scored by LaLiga teams is hidden, a not insignificant data. In that classification we find Espanyol at the top of the table, in the European zone, with a sixth place behind other teams that stand out for their defensive facet and for scoring and defending their result, such as Athletic, Elche or Atlético de Madrid.
As Vicente Moreno usually comments in the press room, the key to a team is in the balance between goals, regardless of whether they are many or few. In this balance, Espanyol travels along the line that its coach wants after a difficult start to the championship when they face four teams Champions (Real Madrid, Atlético, Villarreal and Sevilla).

With six goals in eight games and nine points, every goal for Espanyol is worth 1.5. In fact, Espanyol has always scored points except for the match against Atlético de Madrid (1-2), a ‘rare bird’ in which the Blue and Whites received the second goal in the 99th minute of the game. Against Alavés they won 1-0, 2-1 against Real Madrid and got a draw against Betis (2-2).
Raúl de Tomás excels in this facet by scoring three goals, half, and giving Espanyol four points. Leandro Cabrera and Aleix Vidal accompany the Madrid striker on two occasions. The large percentage of points obtained is based mainly on the great defensive work of Espanyol, who has received eight goals (one per game) with this complex schedule.
