Espanyol surely would have hoped for more than a single point so far in the La Liga. They will be feeling the pressure of securing a first win of the season. Real Madrid delivered a flawless opening to the new La Liga season so far with two wins in their first to matches. They'll be strutting like peacocks in this round tree.
Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Espanyol and Real Madrid are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at RCDE Stadium.
Espanyol have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly seven goals in their previous ten matches. That is an average of 0.7 goals per game, in which they conceded 15 goals, or 1.5 goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.
Real Madrid go into the next La Liga match with an average of 2.5 goals a game from their last ten matches. They scored an extremely presentable total of 25 goals, while also conceding seven times. This is a total average of 0.7 per game, in which they managed four clean sheets.
Espanyol vs Real Madrid Prediction
It is neither good nor disastrous for Espanyol with just two points from their last three matches. They first drew 0-0 against Granada, followed by another draw. This time 2-2 against Celta Vigo, before going down in a 0-2 defeat against Rayo Vallecano. Espanyol only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent La Liga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored four and conceded five goals.
A top half finish is the bare minimum Espanyol will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in Europe and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.
In their last three matches, Real Madrid first beat Eintracht 2-0, then Almeria by 1-2 and finally Celta Vigo by 1-4. Real Madrid won four times in their last six away games in the La Liga, in which they drew once and lost once. They conceded seven goals while scoring 13 themselves.
Real Madrid have one eye on the big prize, although a spot in the top two looks the safer bet as the La Liga gets rolling.
We don't expect Espanyol to pull off a surprise, and with goals flowing freely, they could be in for a hammering against strong looking Real Madrid.
