Personal AreaMatch Overview
Atletico Madrid travel to take on Espanyol in a crucial fixture which will decide if they remain at the second position of the league table. Espanyol, who are near the bottom of the table and seem well set to get relegated, will play out of their skins to ensure that they play spoilsport and allow Atletico's bitter rivals Real Madrid to overtake them in the La Liga standings.
Key Highlights
Espanyol have had very little go their way in the La Liga this season, and they will go down in the La Liga 2 for next season. Their players will hope that they can put up a decent performance for their home fans and make them proud. However, Atletico will be a tough team to beat, given the kind of attackers that they have in their lineup. It is not going to be easy for Espanyol to prevent Atletico from winning this game.
Injury Report
Martin Brathwaite and Jose Gragera are the only absentees for Espanyol in this game whereas Atletico Madrid have a very long list of injured players in their ranks. This includes the likes of Stefan Savic, Thomas Lemar, Reinildo, Memphis Depay and Jan Oblak among others.
Prediction
While Espanyol have lost three out of the last five matches that they have played, Atletico Madrid have won four of theirs. This means that form is in favour of the side from the capital of Spain. With Antoine Griezmann and company licking their lips in anticipation, we expect Atletico Madrid to win this game.
