Real Madrid eye three points away against Espanyol in 2018/19 La Liga
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : RCDE Stadium, Cornella and El Prat
Real Madrid have won two games in a row across all competitions and will be in a positive frame of mind.
Real Madrid though are not on a strong side however after struggling in 2018/19 La Liga overall. They will look to upward the curve definitely.
Los Blancos are at the moment fourth in the points table after 20 games with 36 points. Against Espanyol away they will have to be at the top of their game to profit maximum.
Real Madrid next play Girona away on Thursday in the Copa del Rey quarter-final second leg.
On the other hand, Espanyol are doing OK in 2018/19 La Liga at the moment but will definitely look to improve.
Espanyol are at the moment thirteenth in the points table after 20 games 24 points. In Real Madrid they have got classy opponents and home advantage is what they should bank on giving their best.
Team news and possible line-ups
Oscar Duarte will not be available for Espanyol for the Real Madrid game as due to injury. While Javi Puado is available and will likely play.
As for Los Blancos, Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio are both doubtful.
Espanyol XI : D. Lopez, J. Lopez, Hermoso, Naldo, Vila, Granero, Sanchez, Roca, Puado, Baptistao, Melendo.
Real Madrid XI : Courtois, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Llorente, Kroos, Modric, Vinicius, Benzema, Lucas.
Prediction
It should be good game as both teams will give their all. But in the end I expect Real Madrid to get the job done and earn three points.They might win 2-0. The goalscorers might Benzema and Vinicius.
