Predictions

The prediction of the game in terms of goals depends on both sides’ will to play open/close tactic football.

The hosts play excellent on home soil, and they should give the fans a match to remember.

Espanyol may not even have the chance to score if Real conquer the ball possession from the start, and they will need to do better in the rest of the season's games.
