Espanyol vs Barcelona Prediction (15.05.2025)

Espanyol showed improvement and moved away from the relegation zone. However, they have not yet secured their place in the elite and have lost their last three matches. One of them was a 1:2 defeat against Betis in their last home game, after previously going 10 consecutive home matches without a loss. They generally struggle against Barcelona and their last home victory against this opponent in La Liga was in 2007.

A dramatic comeback in the derby against Real almost certainly made Barcelona the champions. This can be finally confirmed with a victory now in the local derby against Espanyol. However, if Real loses against Mallorca on Wednesday, the match against Espanyol will no longer matter for Barça. The guests, however, are in great form in the second half of the season and it seems like there is nothing to stop them from winning the title.

Espanyol has three consecutive losses and has not yet secured survival, so they will try to delay the celebrations for Barcelona. However, Real is expected to win against Mallorca on Wednesday and Barcelona should do the same on Thursday, thus finally securing the title.
