Atletico Madrid vs Espanyol Predictions

• Five Atletico games in a row have seen both teams score
• Both teams have scored in four of Espanyol’s five away fixtures
• Atletico are unbeaten in their last four outings at the Wanda

Atletico need to bounce back

Atletico Madrid’s inconsistent form is already costing them as they try to challenge for the La Liga title, as they have failed to register back-to-back home wins yet this season.

Diego Simeone’s side remain in the Champions League places though, winning four of their last six league fixtures, four of which have seen both teams net.

Indeed, Atleti have not kept a clean sheet in five at all venues and in all competitions, with each of those games seeing both teams score, including successive defeats at Cadiz (3-1) and Porto (2-1).

Espanyol keen to end away day blues

Espanyol on the other hand can barely buy a win on the road, managing just one of them in their last 15 La Liga away fixtures, losing on eight occasions.

Both teams have scored in 10 of those outings, including a 2-1 loss at Atleti in April and 1-1 draw with Mallorca last time out.

New boss Diego Martínez has won just twice in a dozen games in charge, and they hate coming to the Wanda too, picking up just one win in their last 11 trips here.

I predict that both teams will score in this match with Atletico Madrid getting the win, selecting 2-1 to Atleti as a correct score prediction.
