Atletico vs Espanyol Prediction: Madrid will be closer to victory

Prediction for the La Liga match which will take place on August 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

As we expected, Atletico beat Girona in the second round, but frankly speaking, we did not think that they will achieve a victory so confident, with a score of 3:0. Recall that in the first round of the capital team away played out a draw with Villarreal 2:2. Before the start of Tuesday's pool Atletico occupies 4th place in the La Liga standings with 4 points.

Espanyol played a much better match of the second round of La Liga than the opening game against Valladolid, but the result was just as disappointing, a 0:1 defeat to Real Sociedad. Espanyol is in 19th place in the table with zero points, ahead of Valencia on goal difference.

Espanyol are newcomers to the elite division, the Catalans haven't scored a single goal yet and played a terrible first away game in the elite against Valladolid. Ahead of the Catalans have a meeting with one of the strongest teams in the division, which faces maximum challenges this season. In addition, Atletico has played well in home matches historically. Surely they will do everything possible to not just beat the outsider, but to do it as confidently as possible. If Madrid defeated Girona, why can't they defeat Espanyol?
