Espanyol will be looking to end their long winless run when they visit Camp Nou to play Barcelona. Ahead of this derby, 10 places separate the two sides, Barcelona topping the standings. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Barcelona are coming through a very tough week, staring at possible elimination from the Champions League. Barca lost the first leg of their UCL quarter-final 2-0 at home to Atletico Madrid.
They return to the league where they have a seven-point cushion at the top. With a run of 15 home league wins in as many matches, Barcelona aren’t expected to falter here.
Espanyol have a tough outing on their hands. While they face a side that hasn’t dropped a point at home in the league, Periquitos are coming here winless in 13 outings.
The last time the visitors won a match was before Christmas. In the said winless run, they lost eight times, among them a 2-0 fall to Barcelona in the reverse match.
That was their fourth straight loss against Barcelona, and they trace their last win in this fixture to eight years ago in the Copa del Rey. The visitors avoided defeat in their latest outing, though, drawing 0-0 with Real Betis.
