RCD Espanyol vs FC Barcelona Prediction 13 February 2022

On Sunday evening, as part of the twenty-fourth round of La Liga, a hot Catalan derby between Espanyol and Barcelona will take place.

Having returned to the elite division, Espanyol feel more or less comfortable in thirteenth place with 27 points in the asset and goal statistics of 27:32. Moreover, after an unexpected 2:1 triumph over Valencia, the Parrots failed the next four games against Elche (1:2), Cadiz (2:2), Betis (1:4) and Athletic (1:2).

Barcelona under the leadership of Xavi is gradually regaining its former greatness. A week ago, Blaugrana beat Atlético, 4-2, thanks to which they moved up to fourth place for the first time in a long time with 38 points and a goal difference of 36:25. And before that, they looked good against the backdrop of Sevilla (1:1), Mallorca (1:0), Granada (1:1) and Alaves (1:0).

As for us, Espanyol, which are in crisis, will do nothing even against not the most powerful Barcelona. Xavi's men have learned to win on strong will, which they will do next weekend.
