The Budgerigars are the toppers of the table, and have easily been the best overall squad of the Segunda in 2020-21. They have scored the most number of goals till now - 49, and note that only one other squad has even passed the 40-goal mark.
Do also take note that only one other team has conceded fewer than them, and most importantly, Vicente Moreno's men were relegated from the top flight at the end of the last season.
Before that they used to be a tough competitor in the La Liga, consistently locking horns with some of the best teams in the world.
This experience has been a major plus point for them this campaign, and they are putting it to good use.
Meanwhile, Kirikos are placed ninth in the table, and they need a surplus of seven points to even make it into the last playoff spot. Moreover, they have also played an extra game.
By the looks of things, Espanyol are the favorites to deliver a win this Thursday at their home.
