Barcelona vs Espanyol Prediction: 3/11/2024

Barcelona are on the brink of securing the title, and with an impressive record of ten wins in their last 13 unbeaten home games, they look well-equipped to get the job done. Espanyol, on the other hand, have struggled significantly on the road, losing ten out of their last 13 away matches, making it difficult to see them posing a real challenge here.

High-scoring games have been common in Barcelona’s recent home matches, with over 2.5 goals scored in ten of their last 15 La Liga fixtures. Espanyol’s away games have also tended to be goal-heavy, with 13 of their previous 17 matches featuring three or more goals, suggesting that this matchup could be quite lively.

Each of Barcelona’s last five league games has ended with at least one clean sheet, and the same pattern holds for Espanyol’s last three away fixtures. This trend may well continue when the teams meet.

 

Prediction

Espanyol’s form has been poor, with no wins in their last 12 top-tier games and consecutive losses since the winter break. Meanwhile, Barcelona, coming off a strong run of 18 points from seven matches, are looking dominant.

Prediction: Barcelona 5 – 0 Espanyol
