Real Madrid
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Espanyol
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Athletic Club, Real Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome Espanyol at their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Matchday 5. Los Blancos are eager to stay in the race for the title and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at los Periquitos in Saturday’s football match. Isco found the net in the 1-1 draw with the Lions at the weekend, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. Considering that Espanyol’s away record in La Liga is anything but good, we believe that home win should be considered. The Catalan outfit made a fine start to the season, but they are unlikely to spoil Real Madrid’s party at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening. In their last meeting in the Spanish capital Real Madrid recorded a 2-0 win over Espanyol.

Highlighted Player (Toni Kroos):
Toni Kroos is a Real Madrid midfielder who started playing for Bayern Munich II at senior level. He made 13 appearances for the reserve team and on 31 January, 2009 he joined Bayer Leverkusen on loan. He made his Bayer debut on 28 February, 2009, coming as a substitute in a 1-0 loss to Hannover.
The German midfielder scored ten goals in 43 league appearances with the BayArena outfit and in the summer of 2010 he returned to Bayern Munich. Kroos won three Bundesliga trophies with the mighty Bavarian giants (2007/2008, 2012/2013, 2013/2014) and in 2013 he was part of Bayern Munich’s team that won the Champions League trophy.
In 2014, though, he decided to leave the club and the German superstar joined Real Madrid on a six-year-contract. Kroos won the 2015/2016 Champions League trophy with los Blancos and it has to be noted that he produced a thrilling performance in the title game against Atletico Madrid. In 2014 he clinched the FIFA World Cup trophy with Germany.
Highlighted Team (Espanyol):
Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901 the Catalan club changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. Los Periquitos used to play in bright yellow shirts in the past, but current colour of the team’s home kit is blue and white.
Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
The likes of Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles and Mauricio Pochettino are players with most appearances for the Catalan outfit. Espanyol play their home games at Estadio Cornella-El Prat and the capacity of the stadium is 40,500. Los Periquitos have never participated in the Champions League.
