Real Madrid eye victory at home against Espanyol in 2018/19 La Liga
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid
Real Madrid lost their winning streak this term in La Liga after they were made to work against Athletic Bilbao last weekend. Real Madrid drew 1-1 with them.
At the moment Real Madrid are 2nd in the points table after 4 games with 10 points. But on Saturday will have good chances to get another three points against as they play Espanyol.
Los Blancos fared pretty better in midweek in the Champions League against Roma as they won. Now though the focus returns back to the domestic league.
On the other hand, Espanyol have had a fine start to their 2018/19 La Liga and will look to continue playing positive football on Saturday.
Espanyol though know the enormity of the task at hands as they play Real Madrid away at the Bernabeu. They will need to play out of their skins and hope for the best.
Real Madrid have done well against Espanyol in recent times and will look to continue the good work on Saturday night.
Team news and possible line-ups
Oscar Duarte will not be available for Espanyol for the Saturday night game as due to injury.
As for Real Madrid, Jesus Vallejo is a doubt.
Espanyol XI : D. Lopez, J. Lopez, David Lopez, Hermoso, Vila, Darder, Roca, Granero, Baptistao, Iglesias, Garcia.
Real Madrid XI : Courtois, Odriozola, Nacho, Ramos, Marcelo, Modric, Kroos, Ceballos, Asensio, Benzema, Bale.
Prediction
It should be a 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 3-1.
