Preview and betting tips for – Espanyol vs Real Madrid – 12.09.2015

Saturday afternoon, starting at 17:00, Espanyol and Real Madrid will be face to face in the third round of Primera Division. It’s very clear that the guests have the first chance here and they need three points with any price.
The Catalans started with a victory this new campaign, 1-0 vs Getafe at home, but they lost the second game, 1-3 at Villarreal. Anyway, Espanyol are on the 8th position right now and they will surely be happy with a draw here. We expect to see a 4-4-2 formation from the hosts, with Caicedo and Moreno in the attack.
Real Madrid ticked a win and a draw so far, having four points in their account. Benitez’ side is on the 5th position in Primera Division after the first two matches and this is a must win game for them, otherwise they could lose the contact with Atletico Madrid or Barcelona. Danilo is the only missing player for Real Madrid, but James Rodriguez is also in doubt right now, being not 100% fit after injury.
Espanyol vs Real Madrid probable lineups:
Espanyol (4-4-2): Pau – Arbilla, Raillo, Gonzalez, Duarte – Montanes, Alvarez, Lopez, Sanchez – Moreno, Caicedo.
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Navas – Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo – Moric, Kroos – Isco, Bale, Ronaldo – Benzema.
Espanyol vs Real Madrid prediction: Real Madrid -1.0 AH @ 1.44
There are no doubts about Real Madrid’ superiority here and we expect to see that on the scoreboard too. If they will win the game by a margin of only one goal, then our money will be refunded.
