Bet on Espanyol vs Barcelona

All-Catalonian Clash to Go Barcelona’s Way?

Espanyol should be safe from the drop, as Manolo Gonzalez’s troops are five points above 18^th-place Leganes with three games to go. It has been a tough year in La Liga for last term’s Segunda Division play-off winners, but Parakeets should have enough to survive.

Barcelona are on the cusp of another league title, with Blaugrana seven points clear of rivals Real Madrid. Flick’s men have been the real deal since the turn of the year, winning 14 and drawing two of 16 league fixtures. Since April’s 1-1 tie with Real Betis, Barca have won five in a row in La Liga.

Espanyol will be out to ruin their Catalonian rivals’ title party, especially as Gonzalez’s boys still have work to do in their fight for survival. After three wins and two draws from five, White and Blue have lost three on the trot.

Barcelona need just one win to guarantee another league title. Barca put one hand on the trophy with a stunning 4-3 victory over Real Madrid last weekend. Raphinha bagged a brace, and Eric Garcia and Lamine Yamal were on the scoresheet in the seven-goal El Clasico thriller.

Barca eased to a 3-1 victory when the pair clashed at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in November. A Dani Olmo brace and a Raphinha strike gave Blaugrana a 3-0 half-time lead, with Javi Puado pulling one back midway through the second half.
