Real Madrid Prediction

Real Madrid leads the LaLiga standings with 49 points in 21 matches, resulting from 15 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses. They have scored 50 goals and conceded 20, giving them a goal difference of +30.

In their most recent match on January 25, 2025, Real Madrid defeated Real Valladolid 3-0, with a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappé.

The team has shown outstanding offensive performance, especially with the quartet of Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham, who have contributed 62 goals, accounting for two-thirds of the team’s total this season.

However, coach Carlo Ancelotti faces the challenge of balancing offensive power with defensive solidity, particularly in key matches against direct rivals such as Atletico Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League.

As of February 1, 2025, Kylian Mbappé is Real Madrid’s top scorer in LaLiga, with 15 goals in 21 matches.

Regarding assists, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo lead the team, each with 5 assists in the current LaLiga season.

Espanyol Prediction

RCD Espanyol is in 18th place in LaLiga, accumulating 20 points in 21 matches, with a record of 5 wins, 5 draws, and 11 losses.

In their most recent match on January 25, 2025, Espanyol drew 1-1 against Sevilla at the Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Espanyol’s goal was scored by Marash Kumbulla.

The team has shown an improvement in performance in 2025, remaining unbeaten with one win and two draws. However, they are still in the relegation zone, although they have matched the points of other teams fighting for survival.

Javi Puado is Espanyol’s top scorer in LaLiga this season, with 7 goals in 19 matches.

Regarding assists, Álvaro Tejero leads the team with 3 assists in the current campaign.

Espanyol vs. Real Madrid Prediction

Real Madrid’s victory seems quite clear. Ancelotti’s team will look to secure the three points to maintain a solid lead over Atlético Madrid.

Espanyol vs. Real Madrid Pick: Real Madrid moneyline and over 2.5 goals.
