ESPANYOL – REAL MADRID
Between last season and the current one, Espanyol have not won in La Liga for nine games in a row. And it seems difficult to reverse this trend against a Real Madrid side that has made a great start and won the first two. And which, above all, seems to have no intention of stopping. Ancelotti’s team wants to stay on full points and has all the qualities to do so. Of course, Sunday night’s match for the Blancos will be the first official game without Casemiro, who has gone to Manchester United, but the Italian coach does not seem to be too worried: he has those elements in the squad that could worthily replace the Brazilian.
In any case, Espanyol cannot really frighten this team. The Catalans, after having drawn at Celta Vigo on their debut, lost at home against Vallecano, showing huge structural limits. But also technical and mental ones. In short, a team that doesn’t even seem to have the slightest chance of reversing the trend we told you about earlier.

The Prediction
Third consecutive victory for Real Madrid, who should have no problem taking the three points against Espanyol. A match that might even give them at least three goals in total in the end
