Real Madrid vs Espanyol prediction

Another home game is here for Los Blancos and this time they will face Espanyol in La Liga after opening their Champions League campaign with a home win against the German side, Stuttgart. Their recent La Liga away victory has extended their unbeaten run to five games with 4 points away from the leaders and their top rivals, Barcelona. It is obvious now, that Real Madrid’s rivals find it hard to open up the defense line when they are hosted at Santiago Bernabeu giving Carlo Ancelotti a great advantage to continue collecting three points without hustle. A huge win for Real Madrid is expected in this game.

The Espanyol supporters are yet to enjoy their travel as their team experienced 2 losses on the road while scoring none. It is expected to worsen this week as they face another solid unbreakable wall in the Spanish capital this Saturday. Espanyol never had the luck to get at least a point out of Real Madrid for the recent 7/8 games. They go into this match with a focus on total closure of their box to at least share the spoil with their host.

Statistics for Real Madrid vs Espanyol Prediction

Team news Real Madrid!

• Injuries: Despite good progress, Alaba will still not be available for this fixture. It should be remembered that he underwent 2 surgeries due to an ACL injury and maybe by the end of this year he might be fit to join his mate. Camavinga, Ceballos will be back at the end of September while Diaz might fit again until December
• Returns: Bellingham will be back in action after missing out on the first five games of La Liga. Endrick who sealed the victory of Los Blancos in their clash with Stuttgart in UCL replaced him during their UCL kick off. Jude is set for more improvement following his exciting return from injury. This adds an extra layer of expectation to Real Madrid’s goal-scoring machines
• Booking: Modric was warned with yellow in their last game against Sociedad and yet in UCL clash he picked another yellow. This might compel him to be more cautious to avoid another booking in this coming match
