Real Madrid vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting Tips (20 September)

Unlike last year, Real Madrid starts much better with an accounting assessment of 12 points following its 4 victories in 4 days. Success obtained against Osasuna on the first day 1-0, on the lawn of the promoted Oviedo 0-3, before the truce for the reception of Mallorca 2-1 and last weekend on the pre of Real Sociedad despite the expulsion of Dean Huijsen Victoire 1-2. Espanyol Barcelona moves to Bernabéu without having lost the slightest match this season. Monday evening, for the reception of Mallorca, the Pericos went to win the meeting by evolving in inferiority during the entire 2nd act despite the return to the score of the majority via a double of Vedat Muriqi Victoire 3-2. It is also the Kike Garcia ex-Alaves offensive recruit which allowed the Espanyol to take the 3 points by scoring the goal of victory on penalty.

The Catalans won their first three home games against Atlético Madrid 2-1 and Osasuna 1-0. Their only trip could have materialized in victory after having led 0-2 but the Real Sociedad returned to the 2-2 brand. It is a test match today for the Barcelona training. 

Eduardo Camavonga saw his return to the competition dismissed by a new discomfort during the trip to Real Sociedad. However, he was summoned for the Champions League against Marseille, ditto for Jude Bellingham who is gradually recovering from his shoulder operation. The lateral Ferland Mendy is absent until October, minimum.

Excluded in the first period against Real Sociedad, Dean Huijsen should logically serve today but an appeal as to his expulsion was launched by Real Madrid since the referee admitted having made an error of judgment on the action (case to follow). This is bad since Rüdiger has relapsed and will be unavailable until December for Xabi Alonso. 

• Summary: Real Madrid is going head to head with Espanyol starting on 20 Sept 2025 at 14:15 UTC at Santiago Bernabéu stadium, Madrid city, Spain. The match is a part of the LaLiga .
