Espanyol Barcelona betting prediction
 Espanyol |
|  Barcelona |
Betting suggestion:
This clash tends to be rather unbalanced, given that although Espanyol is the only team to beat Barcelona this season, it has an infinitely lower squad and campaigns well below expectations, while the away has a great season and leads the competition being undefeated. In addition, Barcelona has the best away campaign, while Espanyol has one of the worst home campaigns, as well as being the third team that scored the least goals at home. In view of these factors, we believe that Barcelona will assert its superior squad and conquer the victory with at least 2 goals, if they win by only 1 goal, the house returns the investment.

Analysis Espanyol
The home team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 6 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Sevilla, by (0‑3). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Leganés, by (3‑2). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. For the league, Espanyol won 17 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 11 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 21 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.
Espanyol have been making a Spanish Championship well below the expected where they appear at the bottom half of the qualifying table, coming from 3 games without victories and need to seek recovery with urgency, but they have a very powerful opponent ahead. The team is characterized by a reasonable defense that has conceded 28 goals and is the ninth less leaked, while the attack, on the other hand, is deficient, scored only 18 goals and is the fourth worst of the competition, a problem that needs to be corrected for the rest of the season. Playing at home, such as this Sunday's match, Espanyol has acted very irregularly, alternating good and bad results, acted very badly in the last game where it suffered an expressive defeat for Sevilla and it is worth mentioning that it is the third team that scored the least goals at home with only 10 goals in 10 games. For the match against Barcelona, coach Quique Sánchez Flores has no problems in the main squad and should go on the pitch with the best.
