Real Madrid vs Espanyol Prediction & Preview
Real Madrid will be looking to continue their strong start to the season when they welcome Espanyol to the Bernabeu. The reigning champions have won their last two league games and sit third in the table, just four points behind leaders Barcelona.
Espanyol, on the other hand, have had a bit of a mixed bag so far, winning two and losing two of their opening five matches. But they’ll be buoyed by their recent 3-2 victory over Alaves, in which striker Javier Puado bagged a hat-trick.
Key Stats Real Madrid vs Espanyol
- Real Madrid have won their last three league meetings with Espanyol, including a 3-1 victory at the Bernabeu last season.
- Kylian Mbappe has been in fine form for Real Madrid, scoring 3 goals in 5 appearances so far.
- Espanyol’s Javier Puado is the league’s joint-top scorer with 3 goals.
- Real Madrid have the second-best goal difference in La Liga (+7), while Espanyol’s is even.
- The hosts have the second-highest shots total in the league (87), while Espanyol are down in 17th for shots faced (76).
Main Prediction: Real Madrid vs Espanyol
This one has the makings of a comfortable home win for Real Madrid. Espanyol have struggled against the big boys in recent seasons, and with Mbappe and co. in this kind of form, I can’t see the visitors causing too many problems. I’ll go for a 3-1 victory for the champions.
