Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid Prediction (29.03.2025)

Espanyol has so far escaped the relegation zone, but remains close to it and continues to fight for survival in the elite. The team continues to perform strongly mainly in their home games. They have not lost in eight consecutive home matches. Seven of them were with under 2.5 goals, and five ended in a draw. However, Real Madrid surprised them with a 1-0 victory in one of them, and at the beginning of the season they survived their visit to Atletico with a goalless draw.

Atletico Madrid has started to fall behind from the top and it seems that the title will once again be a mirage for the team. They suffered two losses in the last two rounds, both of them coming after comebacks, which is atypical for Simeone and his team. Another mistake would definitively end their hopes for the first place. Atletico has only won one of their last five away matches against Espanyol. Argentina defeated Brazil 4-1 three days before this match, and a large part of Atletico's players played and were crucial for the success. Therefore, accumulated fatigue in the team of "Los Colchoneros" is not excluded and this could also be a problem for Simeone in the upcoming match.

At home, I expect Espanyol to once again put up a fight against one of the top teams. Atletico looks shaky, and I assume they will face difficulties in this away game.
