Will Iran compete in 2026 World Cup?
Iran’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is uncertain after recent rising regional tensions and diplomatic fallout.
Espanyol hosts Real Oviedo on Monday in a La Liga clash at RCDE Stadium.
The home side is seventh in the table with 36 points from 26 matches, four points outside the European qualification zone, but has gone nine straight league games without a win after a 2-2 home draw with Elche last time out.
Manolo González’s side has scored exactly two goals in each of its last three league games. The attacking intent is still there, but Espanyol’s defense has been its downfall of late.
