We said: Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid
Espanyol are capable of making this a very tough match for Real Madrid, and they beat the champions 2-1 in the reverse game last term. The Catalan side are yet to get going this season, though, and we are expecting Ancelotti's team to collect all three points courtesy of a narrow win. Read more.Data Analysis
