Espanyol will be at home to host the in-form Atletico Madrid in their next La Liga outing this Saturday. Three winless outings have Espanyol sitting 12th while Atletico are second, five points behind the league leaders. As Atletico are coming off a good run, our prediction backs the visitors for a win.
Espanyol managed to halt their losing run with a 1-1 draw at Malaga last time out. They had gone into the international break off the back of two straight defeats.
Coming here they will be searching for only their third victory in the league, but home form doesn’t favor them either. Espanyol haven’t won any of their last three league games at home (1D, 2L).
Atletico won 4-2 in their last meeting with Espanyol, but they lost the last time they visited Espanyol. That 2-1 defeat is their only loss in the last 10 meetings with this opponent.
Atletico have won five times in that 10-game run. Coming here, they are on a superb run of form. In midweek, they posted their fifth straight win after beating Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League.
That was also the fifth straight match in which they managed to score at least twice. Across all competitions this season, Atletico have recorded seven wins in 10 and are coming here having won their last two away league matches.

Our Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Recent meetings between these sides have produced draws, but in general Atletico Madrid have been dominant. Coming off a good run in recent matches, Atletico will once again be favorites to carry the day. Placed second, they seek to close the gap on Barcelona, who have a tricky game later in the day.
Espanyol, on their part, are looking to move closer to the top half. They have a good scoring run in this fixture and could use that to frustrate this high-profile visitor. Our prediction for Espanyol v Atletico Madrid is for Atletico Madrid to win and BTTS.
