Real Madrid vs Espanyol Predictions

• Only two of Real Madrid’s last ten La Liga outings have contained three or more goals
• There have been two strikes or fewer in seven of Espanyol’s last 11 outings
• Real remain unbeaten at the Bernabeu in the league this season

Can Real find their way again?

It’s been a slightly concerning run for Real Madrid, who have drawn with Atletico Madrid and Real Betis in La Liga, either side of a Copa del Rey defeat to Barcelona.

Each of those three matches have contained fewer than three goals, as have eight of their last ten fixtures in the league.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be hopeful of a return to form at the Bernabeu though, where they are unbeaten in 11 home league games, winning seven, and conceding just eight times in the process.

Espanyol proving inconsistent

Espanyol on the other hand are lingering in the bottom half of the table, not helped by a run of just four wins from their last 15 league matches.

Diego Martínez’s side have played 11 away games so far this season, and they have provided only 30 goals, an average of fewer than three per 90 minutes.

Indeed, seven of their last eleven fixtures on the road have contained two strikes or under, and they have collected just two points on their travels against teams in the top six.

I predict that there will be fewer than three goals in this match, with 2-0 to Real Madrid my correct score prediction.
