Espanyol and Atletico Madrid meet at RCDE Stadium, Cornella de Llobregat on Sunday, Oct 18 at 3:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the LaLiga. Just 1 point separate them in the standings.
Espanyol come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 0D 1L). Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Espanyol face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Atletico Madrid have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Espanyol won 2–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Espanyol a slight edge, but Atletico Madrid are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
