Real Madrid vs Espanyol Prediction and Expert Tips

Real Madrid vs Espanyol Match Preview

The effect made by Espanyol at the beginning of the Laliga is one which is truly surprising. Even their first match against Atletico Madrid is in itself leaving an impression as they beat them 2-1. Since then they have a brilliant unbeaten streak of a total of three victories and one draw within four matches. And they are one of only three sides that haven’t conceded a loss yet.

But what makes it exciting is that their next fixture is with one of those unbeaten teams. Not only an unbeaten team, the Los Blancos are the only ones who have clinched a win in all the four league matches at the beginning. Real Madrid is already atop and possesses the best defense line and a decent attacking line. As predicted, Mbappe have kicked off the season on an impressive note netting 4 goals and getting an assist for one. This is astounding when considering the fact that the number of goals RMA has achieved so far is 8.

Espanyol is no weaker either when it comes to goal figures as they too have scored 8 goals. But their initial striker Pere Milla, who have scored 3 goals in four matches, will most likely miss this game as he was given a red card during the previous game against Mallorca. That’s a negative for Espanyol particularly in a game like this. Additionally, Espanyol have been able to bring an end to a four-game losing streak by registering an inspiring 1-0 victory over Real Madrid in the recent head-to-head. Thus, if they can make the winning streak continue coming against RMA is a 13.00 odd question.

Real Madrid vs Espanyol Prediction

The Los Blancos are simply invincible at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Their previous home loss was against Arsenal in the UCL quarters seven matches ago. Their home start this season is also expected with consecutive victories. This is where Espanyol will struggle as they had only one away trip this season to date. Espanyol managed a 1-1 draw against Sociedad, who has not earned a victory so far this season.

The 13.00 price for an Espanyol victory appears more sensible with a view of the head-to-head in RMA’s backyard. A 25-game unbeaten sequence with the past 11 straight victories place all in Real Madrid’s favor. Therefore, a victory is on the cards for the Real Madrid team.

While Espanyol possess a solid attacking line, we do not see them scoring against this Real Madrid team. Not only is it due to the fact that Real has a solid defensive line, but Espanyol will also be missing their form striker Pere Mila for this game.

A 2-0 Real Madrid victory is what we anticipate from this match. This is supported well by the Espanyol offense on the road, who have conceded 2 each in the previous two away trips. Also, Real Madrid haven’t hit more than 2 goals in any of the matches so far this season. So a under 2.5 goal match is what we anticipate at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
