Real Madrid take on the visitors Espanyol in the round 34 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 30th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Real Madrid will pursue 2 main goals. And, perhaps most importantly, they will save energy. Already in the next mid-week they ahve to play the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. Last Tuesday, they lost to City in Manchester. Moreover, the score 3-4 also means that the visiotrs from Spain frankly "rebounded" there - the British did not convert a lot of chances. And the "galacticos" managed to squeeze out the maximum, due to the double of Benzema and the performance of Vinicius. And yet, it is imperative now to beat the wards of Pep Guardiola at home, which will be extremely difficult. It is clear that Carlo Ancelotti is thinking about whether to give rest to the players of the main clip, especially the age leaders led by Modric and Benzema. On the other hand, I also want to formalize their victory in the LaLiga.

In April, Espanyol managed to take only 1 victory, when, due to the only goal of U Lei, they beat Celta at home in the 89th minute. But even before that it was 0-1 with Real Sociedad, and after that there were defeats to both Atlético and Rayo Vallecano. The last defeat was especially noteworthy: the “bees” from Madrid had not been able to win against anyone for a very long time, since mid-December. Obviously, in Catalonia they decided that the minimum task was completed, but they couldn’t aim at something more ambitious this season - well, the coach and the club’s management should already be thinking about the next one. And the players, it seems, are already in their long-awaited summer vacation in their thoughts.
Real Madrid had 4 wins in head-to-heads in a row in 2018-2020. But, returning from the Segunda, Espanyol at home was able to beat the giants at home 2-1. Real Madrid will not be able to use Hazard, Jovic and Mariano Diaz. Espanyol is practically devoid of injuries problems. Bookmakers are waiting for a confident victory for Real Madrid. But, remembering the upcoming match with Manchester City, it is unlikely that the meeting will be very intence.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored.
