Alonso to Keep Up 100% Winning Start?

Real Madrid lead the way at the top of La Liga after four wins from four. Los Merengues have seen off Osasuna, Real Oviedo, Mallorca, and Real Sociedad to make top spot their own.

Real Madrid took their 100% league record into the UEFA Champions League in midweek. The Madrid giants went up against Ligue 1 side Marseille at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, falling behind early on. However, the superb Kylian Mbappe scored twice to turn the tie around.

Espanyol have also made a strong start to their 2025-26 league campaign, dropping just two points. Before the international break, the club from Catalonia beat Atletico Madrid and Osasuna and drew with Sociedad.

Manolo Gonzalez’s men returned to action last weekend with a hard-fought victory over Mallorca. Despite having ten players, Kike Garcia’s late penalty gave the Parakeets a 3-2 win at RCDE Stadium. Can they keep their unbeaten run going with a positive result in the capital?

Real Madrid vs Espanyol Betting Odds

As you would expect, Real Madrid are the overwhelming favourites to come out on top on home soil. The hosts are priced at just 1.20 to get the win.

Even though Espanyol have made a superb start to their season, the Barcelona outfit are the big underdogs at 13.00. Also, you can get 6.40 for this to end all square.

Real Madrid Win – 1.20

Draw – 6.40

Espanyol Win – 13.00

Recent Real Madrid vs Espanyol Head-to-Head Results

Espanyol picked up a stunning victory against Real Madrid when the teams last locked horns. A late Carlos Romero goal was enough for a 1-0 home win. However, Real won the reverse fixture at the Bernabeu by four goals to one.

Last February’s defeat stopped a run of four consecutive Real Madrid wins in this fixture. Their last success at Espanyol came in August 2022, when Karim Benzema (2) and Vinicius Junior were on target in a 3-1 away win.

Real Madrid vs Espanyol Betting Tips & Predictions

Real Madrid are gunning for their sixth straight victory of the season, and they should ease past Espanyol at the Bernabeu. Our money is going on the home win -2 at 1.92.

Despite their great start, Alonso’s side have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their previous three matches. Nevertheless, we fancy the hosts to keep Espanyol at bay in this one, and the home win to nil is priced at 2.00.
