Espanyol have now gone 26 straight derbies without a win against Barcelona in LaLiga (D7 L19); the worst winless run against an opponent in their top-flight history, and the worst winless run of any team in any regional derby in the competition.

Barcelona have not lost any of their last 13 home games against Espanyol in LaLiga (W12 D1), since a 1-2 defeat in February 2009 with Josep Guardiola as Blaugrana coach and Mauricio Pochettino on the Espanyol bench.

Barcelona have won 102 of 176 LaLiga games against Espanyol, the second-most wins by a team against a single top-flight opponent, only behind Real Madrid's 108 wins over Espanyol.

Barcelona have taken 30 points after their first 11 games in LaLiga 2024/25 (W10 D0 L1), their second-highest tally at this stage of a campaign in the competition, after 31 points (W10 D1) in the 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2017/18 seasons.

Espanyol have lost five of their last six LaLiga matches (W1), after avoiding defeat in their previous three in the competition (W2 D1).
