Match Stats

The "Galácticos" have commenced the current season somewhat unconvincingly, having drawn 1-1 against Mallorca in their opening match. This was followed by a victory and yet another draw. Subsequently, Real Madrid found their winning stride and currently boasts a streak of three consecutive victories. This week, on September 17, Madrid debuted in the revamped format of the UEFA Champions League.

In an incredibly challenging match, they triumphed over Stuttgart 3-1; however, had it not been for Thibaut Courtois, who executed six remarkable saves, the Germans might have claimed a better outcome. As it stands, the "Galácticos" occupy second place in the La Liga standings, amassing 11 points after five matches, trailing the leaders by four points.The team has returned to the top tier of Spanish football. Last season, they competed in the Segunda División and, thanks to the playoffs, secured promotion to La Liga. The onset of the new campaign has not been particularly favorable. In their first two matches, Espanyol suffered defeats: 0-1 to Real Sociedad and Valladolid.

However, the Catalans have begun to rectify their situation, managing a draw against Atlético away before winning two consecutive matches—initially defeating Rayo Vallecano 2-1, followed by a 3-2 victory over Alavés. Thus, Espanyol now sits at 12th place with seven points after five matches, which is commendable for a team returning to La Liga.

Prediction:  Real Madrid WIN
