After facing defeat in the first-leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final clash against the Sky Blues, the Whites are back on home soil, looking to pick up a win for their 35th La Liga title. Real Madrid CF vs. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona kicks off at 15:15 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 30, at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
Espanyol are looking to return to winning ways after back-to-back defeats, WLWLL, following the 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano last Thursday at the RCDE Stadium. Espanyol moved one spot down the table, from 12th to 13th place, having failed to earn a point and have 39 points from 10W, 9D, and 14L. Vicente Moreno would like to see his side complete a league double over Real Madrid following the 2-1 win in the reverse fixture. The 47-year-old could line up the 4—3—3 formation with Raúl de Tomás, who came through the ranks at Real Madrid, at the center of the attacking trio against the Whites.

Espanyol defeated Celta Vigo 1-0 at the RCDE Stadium last Sunday and moved from 12th to 11th place on the La Liga table, with 39 points from 10W, 9D, & 12L. Following a 2-0 win in May 2018, Espanyol became the first team to beat Atlético Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano in LaLiga and are looking to join Levante as the two sides to have picked up a win over Atlético twice at their new stadium in LaLiga. However, back-to-back victories look unlikely, WDWLW, but a draw appears to be within reach on Sunday. Vicente Moreno and the Blanquiazules could appear with the 4—2—3—1 formation once again, having Raúl de Tomás in attack. Meanwhile, Espanyol will be without Yangel Herrera, who has accumulated a yellow-card suspension.

The 1-1 draw leaves Espanyol in 14th place on the La Liga table, with 29 points from 7W, 8D, & 10L. Without a win in five Liga games, DLLDD, Espanyol are looking to pick up three points on Sunday against the Yellow Submarine in their quest to climb a few steps up the table.

Espanyol picked up a 2-2 draw against Barcelona at the RCDE Stadium last weekend. Pedri (2') had Barcelona in the lead minutes after kick-off. But Darder (40') pulled one back for Espanyol five minutes before the stroke of half-time. Raúl de Tomás (64'), who has been in fine form all season, hit the back of the net with what was his 13th goal of the season, leaving Espanyol in the lead. The White and Blue were looking to berth safely with all three points but failed to do so after Luuk De Jong (90'+6) struck for the leveler deep inside stoppage time at the RCDE Stadium. The draw leaves the club without a win in five LaLiga games: LDLLD, while sitting in 14th place, having picked up 28 points from 7W, 7D, & 10L. Espanyol has failed to hit the back of the net in their last three home league games against Sevilla. Failure to win on Sunday would leave them with their worst winless run of the 2021/22 season (six). The White & Blue has a goal ratio of 1.21 goals per game, having scored 29 goals in 24 La Liga games. In addition, Espanyol has conceded an average of 1.42 goals per game, 34 goals in total, and has a goal difference of -5.

Espanyol lost by a single goal to Barcelona on Matchday 14 at Camp Nou. Memphis Depay (48' P.) scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot three minutes after the break. The defeat was the second of its kind for the club, and it left Espanyol with only 5 points out of a possible fifteen: DDLWL. Luckily, Espanyol held on to 11th place on the table despite failing to pick up a point against Barcelona. The club has 17 points after 4W, 5D, & 5L. A look at the numbers reveals Espanyol has a goal ratio of 1 goal per game this season, having scored 14 goals in 14 La Liga games.

The La Liga fixture, FC Barcelona vs. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona, kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, November 20, at Camp Nou.

The victory saw Espanyol keep their grip on 11th place, having picked up 17 points from 4W, 5D, & 4L, as they returned to winning ways: WDDLW. Vicente Moreno will aim to pick up a point against this inconsistent Barcelona side as he looks to give Xavi a hostile reception on his coaching debut in LaLiga. The Blanquiazules could line up in the 4—1—4—1 formation once again, with Raúl de Tomás in attack. The 27-year-old is Espanyol’s top scorer with 7 goals this season.
The Spanish LaLiga Santander fixture, Espanyol de Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, kicks off at 15:15 (GMT+1) on Matchday 8, Sunday, October 3 at the RCDE Stadium.
Playing no part in European continental football, Espanyol will make their return after last weekend's away defeat to Sevilla. Despite having 46% of the ball and making 396 passes, Espanyol failed to create anything noteworthy in terms of results and lost, 2-0 to Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Matchday 7. Goals from Youssef En-Nesyri (13') and Rafa Mir (87') were enough to decide the outcome of the game after ninety minutes of play. With Madrid looming, Vicente Moreno was aware of the consequences of the defeat, knowing his side would face an uphill task against Los Blancos on Sunday afternoon. With only one win in the last five games: LLDWL, which also doubles as the club's only victory this season, Espanyol remains in 14th place, having picked up 6 points after 1W, 3D, & 3L. The results are evident in the numbers, as a closer look reveals a lack of goals in the final-third. Betrayed by an average goal ratio of 0.57 goals per game, having scored 4 goals in 7 LaLiga games, Espanyol's attacking department requires at least two games to pick up a goal, an average not good enough when put side-by-side with Madrid's 3 goals per game. A closer look also shows that Espanyol concedes less on the average when compared to Madrid's 1.14 g.c.p.g. while having 1 g.c.p.g after letting eight goals in, in seven appearances. Taking away other factors, an improved average conversion rate in the final third could see Espanyol inside the top-ten, to say the least. Moreno would try to do that on Sunday with a probable 4—1—4—1 formation, while having Raúl de Tomás at the top of the shape.
The LaLiga Santander fixture, Sevilla FC vs. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona, kicks off at 17:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, September 25 at the 43,883-capacity Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
Espanyol occupies 13th place on the La Liga table, having picked up 6 points from 1W, 3D, & 2L. The club picked up its first victory of the season in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves (DLLDW) at the Cornellà-El Prat. Raúl de Tomás (54' P.) separated both sides from the penalty spot, sending the goalkeeper diving the wrong way after a handball was spotted in the box. The club’s performance in the final third has brought Espanyol 4 goals after six La Liga games. With an average of 0.67 goals scored per game, the White and Blue have conceded five goals so far (0.83 g.c.p.g) in the length of the current season, and have a goal difference of -1. Manager Vicente Moreno could emerge with the same 4—2—3—1 formation on Saturday, having Raúl de Tomás at the top of the shape once again.
The Spanish La Liga fixture, RCD Espanyol de Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid, kicks off at 13:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, September 12 at the RCDE Stadium.
RCD Espanyol de Barcelona remain without a victory ahead of this fixture against the La Liga champions after the disappointing 1-0 defeat to RCD Mallorca on the third day of the league at the Son Moix Stadium. An unmarked Dani Rodríguez (27') had the luxury of time to pick a spot for the left-footed shot which eventually separated both sides at fulltime. The defeat leaves Espanyol in 16th place with 2 points on the La Liga table after 0W, 2D, & 1L, which translates to a form that reads: DDL. The 46-year-old, Vicente Moreno, could adopt the 4—4—2 formation once again like he did against Mallorca, despite leaving the Iberostar Stadium with an empty basket. The attacking duo of Raul de Tomás and Landry Dimata could shoulder the goalscoring responsibilities once again. The 23-year-old central midfielder, Yangel Herrera, on loan from Manchester City, is ruled out with a tibia fracture. Sergi Gomez (R. 90'+4) picked up a red in the game against Mallorca and is suspended for this fixture.
