Athletic Club have opened the 2026 Primera División Femenina campaign in devastating fashion, winning both of their opening fixtures without failing to score. A commanding 3-1 home victory over FC Levante Badalona on matchday one set the tone, followed by a disciplined 1-0 away win at Edf Logroño. Four goals scored, just one conceded, and a perfect six points from six - the Basque side carry serious momentum into this Round 3 clash.
Espanyol, by contrast, are stuck in reverse. Two defeats from two matches, zero goals scored, and two conceded paints a bleak picture. A 1-0 loss at Eibar on the opening weekend was followed by a home defeat by the same scoreline against FC Levante Badalona. The inability to find the net is the most alarming trend - Espanyol have now failed to score in both league outings this season.
History offers Espanyol little comfort. Athletic Club have won four of the last six meetings between these sides, with one draw and just a single Espanyol victory - which came back in November 2020. In the two fixtures last season, Athletic prevailed on both occasions: 2-1 at home in January and 1-1 away in September. When these teams meet at Athletic's ground, the hosts have been particularly ruthless, winning all three recent home encounters.
Athletic Club's attacking firepower and defensive solidity make them clear favourites. Espanyol's goalscoring drought is a major concern heading into hostile territory. Unless the visitors can find a way to break their duck quickly, Athletic's confidence and clinical edge should prove decisive. The hosts will look to impose themselves early, and Espanyol will need a dramatic improvement to take anything from this one.
