RCD Espanyol vs Atlético Madrid Prediction 24 May 2023

Relegation-bound Espanyol will take on powerful Atlético Madrid in the La Liga matchday 36.

In the foreseeable past, Espanyol beat Getafe 1:0 and Rayo Vallecano 2:1, and also were ingloriously defeated by Villarreal (2:4), Sevilla (2:3) and Barcelona (2:4). Now the Parrots are only nineteenth with 34 points in the asset, goal statistics 44:61 and falling behind the salvation zone by one point.

Despite the disastrous first half of the season, in the second part of the championship, Atlético picked up a great move and fairly climbed to the second position with 72 points and a goal difference of 63:27. This was facilitated by the confident triumphs of Los Colchoneros over Mallorca (3:1), Valladolid (5:2), Cadiz (5:1) and Osasuna (3:0), between which there was a 0:1 defeat from Elche.

We doubt very much that Atlético will create an obstacle for Espanyol in their struggle for a place under the sun, since the Madrid giants have already fulfilled their main goal for the season. So here the Catalans at least will not lose.
