Prediction :
Atlético Madrid, who we predict will win this match, may make it difficult for Espanyol to score against them. Atlético Madrid should therefore have a hard-fought advantage of 0-1 when the referee blows for full-time. I can’t wait for this.
Head to Head :
Atlético Madrid has drawn two of their most recent meetings, with Espanyol winning one and Atlético Madrid winning three, respectively, since April 5, 2019. During this time, the two teams scored a total of 17 goals, with 8 coming from Periquitos and 9 from Atleti.
The number of goals scored on average is 2.83 per game. Atlético Madrid defeated Espanyol 1-1 on La Liga match day 13 on June 11, 2022, in the pair’s previous league encounter.
Team news :
Espanyol didn’t leave their standoff with Vallecano solid, as safeguard Sergi Gomez was constrained off with a hamstring worry in the last part, and Garcia is perspiring over the 31-year-old’s readiness for the visit of Atletico. Both Martin Braithwaite and Jose Gragera did not make the team over the weekend because of problems with their ankles and hamstrings.
This could mean that both players are out for the rest of the season, but Garcia hasn’t said that either player is out of the run-in. If Gomez is deemed unfit for Wednesday’s matchup, Cesar Montes will be on standby, but given Sunday’s crucial victory, the hosting coach should otherwise keep changes to a minimum.
Morata, on the other hand, had a truly awful game against Osasuna. After two goals were disallowed, the Spaniard was taken off at halftime with a neck injury, and he is now doubtful for the trip to Espanyol.
