Espanyol has faced significant challenges in their last ten games at this level, managing just three draws while losing seven times. Their struggles have been particularly noticeable on the road.
Although Real Madrid may not be performing at their peak compared to earlier in the season, they still maintain a strong home record, with 11 wins from 16 matches.
In recent weeks, Real Madrid’s games have tended to be low-scoring, with five of their last seven league matches featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Espanyol’s away fixtures have mirrored this trend, with eight of their last ten LaLiga games also producing two goals or fewer.
Espanyol’s away games typically lack excitement, as six of their last seven away matches in LaLiga have seen at least one clean sheet.
Similarly, Real Madrid’s home matches have followed this pattern, with eight of their last nine, including six consecutive games, featuring a clean sheet for one of the teams.
Prediction
Espanyol’s away matches in LaLiga have consistently been low-scoring, with 17 of their last 19 games on the road featuring under 2.5 goals, including nine in a row.
Real Madrid has also seen 14 of their last 19 home games end with two goals or fewer, including past meetings with Espanyol.
Prediction: Real Madrid 0 : 0 Espanyol
