Atletico Madrid vs RCD Espanyol Prediction 17 April 2022

This Sunday, Madrid will host another match of the thirty-second round of La Liga between Atlético and Espanyol.

Prior to the match, Atlético unexpectedly lost 0:1 to the outsiders Mallorca, because of which they remained in fourth position with 57 points and goal statistics of 57:38. But before that, Los Colchoneros got four victories in a row over Betis (3:1), Cadiz (2:1), Rayo Vallecano (1:0) and Alaves (4:1), showing their serious intentions to finish in the top 4.

Espanyol, newcomers to the elite, have earned 39 points and are in a respectable eleventh place with a scored-conceded difference of 36:42. But while at home the Parrots prevailed over Getafe (2:0), Mallorca (1:0) and Celta (1:0), then away matches with Levante (1:1) and Real Sociedad (0:1) developed for them not in the best way.

The level of Atlético is much higher, especially against the backdrop of Espanyol's inability to play in foreign arenas. Given the way Los Colchoneros play, we expect them to win with a slight advantage.
