Atlético de Madrid, after a somewhat slow start, are now on a tremendous run of form; their 2-0 Champions League victory against Manchester United marked their fifth consecutive win. Los Colchoneros seem to know exactly how to play with a man advantage, as in their last three victories, an opposing player was sent off. Looking to string together three consecutive away league wins for the first time since 2014, Atleti visit Espanyol's home ground.
Espanyol have only won one of their last 10 matches against Atleti. Los Pericos have also had a decent start to the league season, especially considering they have scored in each of their last eight La Liga games. In their previous match, Espanyol could only manage a 1-1 draw against newly promoted Málaga, a game in which Zaragoza scored the opening goal, which they were unable to hold onto.
Atlético Madrid arrives inspired for a very promising stretch of the season, which will see them face Espanyol, Stuttgart, Deportivo La Coruña, and Levante during October.

Our Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
No significant changes are expected in Espanyol's starting eleven, with Zaragoza retaining his place as striker after his goal in the previous match.
On Atlético's side, after the whole saga surrounding Julián Álvarez, the Argentine is still searching for his best form; he should feature more prominently, even though Jonathan David and Ademola Lookman shone off the bench in the match against Manchester United.
Our prediction for Espanyol vs Atlético Madrid is: Over 2.5 goals.
