Real Madrid are the reigning Spanish as well as European champions and they have started this new season on a great note. Meanwhile Espanyol are a team that usually targets a mid-table finish at the most in the Spanish top flight.
They had secured a 14th place finish the last season in the La Liga and had managed to register just 10 wins in total. Do also note that they had let in a total of 53 goals all through the campaign.
Going on they have been totally winless in the new campaign and they have a 100 percentage losing record at home as well. In fact, they have been struggling with their defense for quite some time now.
Meanwhile, the Royal Whites have been so dominant in the past decade that they must be tired of lifting trophies. They now have double the number of Champions League cups as that of the next best team in the competition.
This time around they will be going for the continental treble, which is the only accomplishment that they have left to achieve.
They will be high on confidence this weekend after having maintained a 100 percentage winning record so far. Moreover, they also have a superb head-to-head record against this rival over the years.
Taking into account these observations expect a victory for Real Madrid this weekend.
