Espanyol – Real Madrid Preview
Espanyol hosts Real Madrid in Barcelona in a match from the 22nd round of La Liga. Here are our Accurate football predictions today. Here we go!
Let’s start with Espanyol here. Los Pericos are having a mediocre season so far. They are in the relegation zone of the league positioned 18th with 20 points won. The head coach Manolo Gonzalez has to do some adjustments in order to revive the Catalans because relegation is not an option for Espanyol.
Espanyol won just one of their last five matches in the league – against Real Valladolid. In their last match Los Pericos faced Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and got a point with a 1-1 draw. Marash Kumbulla scored Espanyol’s only goal in the game.
Real Madrid are leaders in La Liga with 49 points which puts them four points ahead of the second Atletico Madrid. Los Blancos are defending their title and so far they are moving in the right direction. Carlo Ancelotti’s team is enjoying a run of four consecutive wins in the league. And they are playing better compared to the beginning of the season.
Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick during the 3-0 win against Real Valladolid last weekend. Now the French striker has 15 goals in the league since the start of the season. He’s just two goals behind the top scorer Robert Lewandowski from Barcelona. Mbappe got some criticism in the first months of the season, but now he’s playing much better. Can he win the Pichichi award for a top scorer of La Liga? Surely he can!
That’s the Accurate football predictions today for the upcoming La Liga clash between Espanyol and Real Madrid. Surely the Catalans are the underdogs here – it’d be a pretty huge surprise if they win something from this match.
