FC Barcelona vs RCD Espanyol Prediction 3 November 2024

Three consecutive crushing victories over Alaves (3-0), Sevilla (5-1) and Real Madrid (4-0) testify to the incredible form of Barcelona, which has scored 30 points with a goal difference of 37:10 and rightly occupies the first position. At the same time, its gap from the nearest pursuer is measured by six points.

Espanyol returned to the elite after a year's absence, so it is probably not necessary to expect high results from it. Indeed, a series of faded games with Villarreal (1:2), Betis (0:1), Mallorca (2:1), Atletico (1:4) and Sevilla (0:2) led to the fall of the Parrots to the seventeenth position with 10 points and goal statistics 10:19.

The derbies of the last few years though have been left to the stronger Barcelona, but it was definitely not easy for the favorite in them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Blaugranas now face a well-organized opponent who will try to avoid a crushing fiasco.
