Real Madrid Espanyol betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Real Madrid is going through an excellent form moment in home matches, so they should take advantage of the weaknesses of the opponent to get a comfortable result in this round and avoid losing more points to Atletico and Barcelona. On the other hand, Espanyol hasn’t had great results in away matches, since they register 7 consecutive losses in matches away from home. Therefore, they are ever further from an European competition access standing and closer to the relegation zone. Therefore, there is a tendency for goals in this match, since Espanyol won’t be able to resist the offensive quality of Real Madrid.
