Sparkles will be flying at Camp No when Barcelona host Espanyol in the highly anticipated Catalan derby. Given the huge gap in quality between the two teams, we predict a 3-0 home win. Barca aim to continue their fine form after a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid, though they will be without Bernal, Christensen, and Raphinha. Defender Araujo should feature despite a knock, adding stability to the backline. Hansi Flick's men boast perfect home form in recent matches, winning all six with an average of 4.67 goals scored per game and conceding just 0.83, making them formidable at Camp Nou.
Espanyol, meanwhile, will welcome experienced forward Pere Milla back from suspension, hoping to improve on their recent goalless draw against Betis. Los Periquitos have struggled away, failing to win any of their last six away fixtures, while averaging 3.83 goals per game conceded on the road. Historically, Barcelona dominate the fixture, winning 74% of the 35 meetings, though high-scoring games are common, with over 1.5 goals in 77% of encounters.
Given Barca's superior form and H2H advantage, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Barcelona -1.5 and Over 2.5 goals as Barcelona’s attacking firepower is expected to shine.
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 11 April 2026 at 17:30.
