After they were promoted to La Liga this campaign, Espanyol are now fighting another relegation. They are 18th in the standings with only 20 points from 21 matches. Only Valencia and Real Valladolid have scored less goals than them, with a -13 goal difference.
Espanyol are one of the La Liga clubs struggling with their budget. Strict Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules which were introduced after the pandemic, imposed a limit on clubs’ spendings. While his team may need to sell off some players by next summer, the hosts coach Manolo González said their monetary struggles will make buying new players hard.

Real Madrid qualified for the next phase of the Champions League after a 3-0 win against Brest, where Bellingham scored a goal and Rodrygo a brace. Despite securing top place in La Liga, they are still frustrated with refereeing decisions in Spain.
After their 5-2 loss to Barca in Riyadh, Madrid bounced back by scoring up to three goals in all of their last four matches. In their most recent La Liga fixture, a 3-0 win over Real Valladolid, French man Kylian Mbappé delivered an exceptional hat-trick.
MatchPlug Prediction For Espanyol VS Real Madrid
Real Madrid struggles against clubs that press high and play attacking football. Given that Espanyol are more on the defensive side, it would be fun to watch them play attacking football against Madrid. With Mbappé in top shape, beating Real just became a fever dream.
Final Prediction: Real Madrid Moneyline.
