Real Madrid will carry their slim La Liga title hopes to Catalonia, where they are set to face Espanyol in the 34th round. With five matches to play, Real trail Barcelona by 11 points, while Espanyol have dropped to 13th, five points above the drop zone. Read on for our prediction.

Espanyol’s woes didn’t ease in the last round as they could only play to a 0-0 draw with relegation-threatened Levante. Their 16th straight winless outing left the Catalans on 39 points.

They have suffered defeat in 10 of those 16 matches and will go into this encounter hoping not to be sucked into the survival battles below them. The fact that they’ve scored just once in their last four matches doesn’t help a lot.

Real Madrid are staring at another trophyless campaign. That has never gone down well at Los Blancos, and a number of staff will not be sitting pretty in these final rounds.

The visitors’ case was made even worse after they conceded late to draw 1-1 with Real Betis last time out. A sizeable chunk of their woes is down to constant injuries to key players, and this has also occasioned the difficulty to keep clean sheets.

The Spanish giants have conceded in each of their last nine matches in all competitions, and they’ve won just once in their last six matches (3L, 2D).

Our Espanyol vs Real Madrid Prediction

Real Madrid haven’t been in their best shape, and it is growing unlikely that they will win the league title. There are reports of disunity in the Los Blancos backroom, but facing an off-color Espanyol should not add to their woes.

Espanyol have failed to win in any of their last 16 matches, a run that includes 10 defeats. They’ve also lost five times in their last six meetings with Real Madrid. Our prediction for Espanyol v Real Madrid is that Real Madrid wins.
