Espanyol will be looking to upset Real Madrid when the two sides lock horns at the RCDE Stadium. As Espanyol suit Real Madrid, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win. Los Periquitos kickstarted their La Liga campaign in style at the weekend, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Levante. Fernandez Jaen was the star of the show after scoring a brace and will be the man to watch once again, although Garcia and Puado are both likely to miss out through injury. Espanyol have been in excellent form overall, winning 50% of their last 10 matches and scoring in every one of them.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, are eager to impress on their La Liga debut after not being in action at the weekend. Big-money signing Yan Diomande is expected to make his official debut, while Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konate, and Denzel Dumfries could also feature for the first time. Gonzalo Garcia is no longer part of the squad, while Vinicius Junior has extended his contract with Los Blancos. Real Madrid have won seven of their last 10 matches and conceded just 0.80 goals per game during that run. As before, top scorer Kylian Mbappe will lead the line for the Spanish giants.
Real Madrid have won 70% of their last 10 matches and dominate the H2H record. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Away Win, alongside Real Madrid Over 1.5 goals and Mbappe to Score.
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 20:30.
