Atletico Madrid vs Espanyol prediction

After a whirlwind opener in La Liga that saw Atletico Madrid salvage a 2-2 draw with Villarreal, the team roared back to life with an impressive 3-0 triumph against Girona on home turf. The atmosphere at the Wanda Metropolitano is electric as Diego Simeone’s men gear up to face Espanyol, relishing their formidable record from last season where they clinched victory in 16 of their 19 home encounters. Fueled by unwavering fan support and confidence from recent 7 unbeaten performances (5 wins, and 2 draws), Atletico Madrid looks ready to stamp their authority and continue building momentum in this campaign.

On the contrary, Espanyol is grappling with a challenging start to their La Liga campaign, suffering two consecutive defeats in their opening matches. The team’s struggles extend further, with no wins in their last 5 outings and a disheartening 3-game losing streak looming over them. However, the mood around Espanyol may be lifting thanks to some promising new signings. Coach Manolo Gonzalez will undoubtedly look to harness this fresh talent as he aims to replicate last season’s success against heavyweights Atletico Madrid, where they managed to hold onto an impressive unbeaten record.

Atletico Madrid will certainly find joy in their home ground, a true fortress that has served them well since last season. With one victory and a draw under their belt so far, they stand starkly against Espanyol’s recent struggles marked by a dismal losing streak. As the two teams prepare to clash, it feels almost inevitable that Atletico Madrid will assert their dominance once again, aiming for a clear win by at least a 2-goal margin over the beleaguered visitors from Espanyol.
