Rampaging Barcelona will look to extend their lead atop the La Liga table when they host 17th-place Espanyol in the Derbi Barceloní on Sunday. We have a prediction ready for you in this rivalry match between the Blaugrana and Los Periquitos!
Barcelona have been scorching hot this season under manager Hansi Flick. They’ve won 10 of their 11 La Liga matches and have built up a six-point lead over rivals Real Madrid.
Barcelona come into this fixture off the back of a sensational 4-0 away victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu last weekend. It marked the club’s fifth straight win across all competitions and their 12th in 14 total matches across all competitions.
Barca have scored an impressive 37 goals in the league and are far and away the highest scoring team in the division.
Espanyol was able to get back to winning ways in their midweek Copa del Rey fixture after a 4-0 away win over minnows San Tirso. It provided a brief reprieve in a difficult stretch which has seen Espanyol lose five of their last six in La Liga.
In their last league outing, Espanyol fell to a 2-0 home defeat to Sevilla. The visitors have yet to score an away league win and have only managed a single point in five attempts.

Our Barcelona vs Espanyol Prediction
Barcelona have been putting teams to the sword this season with some breathtaking attacking performances. They’re among the very top in-form scoring sides in Europe and are averaging close to three and a half goals per contest.
This could spell trouble for Espanyol who come into this matchup off the back of some heavy away defeats in La Liga. They lost 4-1 both to Athletic Club and Real Madrid recently and could be in for a similar type of scoreline on Sunday. Our Barcelona vs Espanyol prediction: over 3.5 goals.
