Real Madrid – Espanyol. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Spanish championship

On September 21, the match of the 6th round of the Primera will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu, in which “Real Madrid” will meet with “Espanyol”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Real Madrid (Madrid)

The team showed its class last season. And at the national level, where they won first the Super Cup, and then the Premier League, and at the international level – they ended the draw with another victory in the Champions League. This put an end to Kroos’ career in general (having previously played for the national team at the home Euro), Josela and Nacho (went to the Middle East). But Florentino Perez did not strengthen the defense and the center of the field, but they signed Mbappe and Endrik in an already strong attack. As a result, the Galacticos mostly win, including in the UEFA Super Cup (2:0 against Atalanta with Kilian’s debut goal), but draws were enough, literally on equal ground, away to Mallorca and Las Palmas. And with Real Sociedad, weak implementation of moments and the opponent and a couple of penalties in the second half helped to win. Starting a new cycle of the Champions League with Stugart, the owners of Vukhaty could also lose points – they won in the last quarter of an hour of playing time.

Español

The club was able to return to Primera again. Only not directly anymore: in the last Segunda cycle, one of the favorites finished only fourth, but confirmed its class through the playoffs. And, most importantly, the parrots have already shown that they do not look superfluous at the old level. Yes, they started with defeats, 0:1 each, not only against Real Sociedad, but also against fellow promotion team Valladolid. But then they first put the bandwagon of Atlético, holding to a 0-0 draw in Madrid. And then they beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1, lifting the mood before the break for national team games. After the resumption of play, hosting Alaves, they added three more important points, winning a spectacular match 3:2.

Statistics of personal meetings

Seven of the last eight face-to-face matches, including three times in a row, were won by the cream team.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not doubt the victory of the champion. But his condition is not optimal, and the guests will clearly go into a deaf defense. We bet on a total of less than 3.5 goals (coefficient – 1.84).
