Atl. Madrid vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting tips
The box “colchonero” leaves as a favorite due to the collective potential that it possesses, which usually increases when it acts in the Metropolitan Wanda. For this reason and knowing that the boys of the “Cholo” are direct and intense between the lines, we believe that his simple win is interesting to bet. Remember that the “parakeets” have lowered their soccer production, even to yield many goals in their goal. Paints to be a duel even at times, but favorable to Atleti for the highest rank of its players in attack.
Atlético de Madrid:
The box “colchonero” arrives toned to this duel after beating 2-3 to Valladolid in a match fought from the initial whistle. Of course, the victory was somewhat unfair, since his rival dominated the actions in many moments of the game. These days, he has 31 points in the general table, his goal remaining in the fight for the overall leadership. Of course, you must improve your game, as it tends to have constant intermittences. He has scored 24 goals and has yielded 12 on his fence, standing out for being an effective midfielder forward. And all this for the quality of players he has.
As a local in the Metropolitan Wanda, the table “colchonero” has registered acceptable markers, despite the occasional draw there. He came from 3-0 winners to Alavés in a strong way, standing out also to defend in a good way (4 goals conceded in his goal). If goals are concerned, scored 15 in his field, noticing a greater production in this condition. The last game he could not win at his stadium was against Barcelona (1-1 draw). For this match it is expected that the boys of the “Cholo” advance the lines and that they try to take advantage of the spaces that their rival usually leaves at the moment of scoring.
Espanyol:
The picture “parakeet” does not go well to this duel after losing 1-3 to Betis and add 5 losses in a row. Thanks to this negative streak, the team has descended several positions in the general table, staying halfway through it. The team is still smart in their game, but is defending very badly. Therefore, it should not surprise us that he has yielded 23 goals in 16 presentations. The goal of the squad is to return to the triumph as it is, since the falls are affecting the team from the emotional and from the football.
As a visitor, the box “parakeet” has obtained diverse results so far, after winning 1 game, draw another 3 and lose the remaining 4 that played in this condition. In matters of goals, he has converted 8 and has yielded 12 on his fence. It comes to draw 2-2 with Rayo Vallecano, to overcome 0-2 to Huesca, to equal 1-1 with Valladolid, to fall 2-1 with Sevilla and to lose 3-0 with Getafe. For this exit it is expected that the Catalans improve their defensive level, since they have yielded several goals in their last two league games.
In the last 5 years, Atlético de Madrid and Espanyol have met 5 times in Madrid. These were the results of those matches: 1-0 victory for Atlético de Madrid in March 2014, 2-0 win for Atlético de Madrid in October 2014, 1-0 victory for Atlético de Madrid in November 2015, 0-0 draw 0 in December 2016 and 0-2 triumph of Espanyol in May 2018. Apparently, the box “colchonero” had a paternity over his rival, which was cut two clashes ago. On this occasion, we believe that the boys of “Cholo” have what it takes to add their first triumph against the Catalans in the Metropolitan Wanda.
