Real Madrid visit out-of-form Espanyol on Sunday evening, knowing that anything other than a victory will finally extinguish their slim title hopes.
In reality, Real's title hopes are already a thing of the past, following a dismal run of just one win in their last four games. Last week's 1-1 draw at Real Betis leaves Álvaro Arbeloa's side 11 points behind leaders Barcelona with just five games left to play, so barring a miracle, it is going to be a rare trophyless season for Real.
Despite their poor form, Real will still go into Sunday's game as big favorites for the win. That's because Espanyol are on an astonishing 15 match winless run that has not only ruined a strong first half of the campaign, but also dropped them down to within five points of the La Liga relegation zone.

Our Espanyol vs Real Madrid Prediction
It's been a largely terrible few weeks for Madrid, but we are backing them to claim all three points from their trip to Espanyol.
Simply put, the home side have been the worst side in La Liga since the turn of the year and are in serious danger of getting sucked into the bottom three.
Espanyol's lack of confidence is strongly evidenced by their awful goalscoring record over the last month, so despite Madrid's somewhat leaky backline, we think they will claim a rare clean sheet on Sunday night.
Our prediction for Espanyol vs Real Madrid is: Madrid to win to nil.
