Reasons For Real Madrid vs Espanyol predictions & Betting Tips
Real Madrid are strong favourites for this match with odds of 1.11 with Unibet. Los Blancos are without a home win in La Liga this season, but will be fancied to get the three points against Espanyol on Sunday.
Valencia, Levante and most notably Real Betis – who won with a 94th minute goal – have all taken points from the Bernabeu in recent weeks, but it’s hard to see Madrid dropping points for a fourth time.
Espanyol have not beaten Real in a decade and have lost their last 10 matches to Sunday’s opponents. However, they are unbeaten in three and were 4-1 winners against Deportivo last weekend.
Madrid have Cristiano Ronaldo back in form, the Portuguese superstar scoring twice in the midweek win at Borussia Dortmund. After missing the first four league games through suspension, he will be keen to get his first La Liga goal of the season against Quique Sanchez Flores’ side.
Ronaldo to score first is priced at 2.88 with Unibet. It’s only a matter of time before he gets off the mark, and with Karim Benzema injured there is even more reliance on CR7 to score.
You can back him at 4.0 with bet365 to score a hat-trick. We’re backing there to be goals here – just two season ago Madrid won both meetings 6-0.
As for the correct score, we’re going with a 3-0 Madrid win at 8.0 with Unibet. If you fancy Espanyol to inflict more Bernabeu misery on Zidane’s side, they are 7.5 with bet365 to win or draw.
