- Venue: Civitas Metropolitano
Espanyol continue the search for their first win of the 2024-25 campaign when travel this week to Civitas Metropolitano where they will take on Atletico Madrid.
The visitors are not only looking for their first win of the season but also their first point. Manolo González's side began their campaign with a narrow defeat to Real Valladolid and suffered the same faith against Real Sociedad in their first home game since returning to La Liga last weekend. However, having avoided defeat in their last two Spanish top flight meetings with Atletico, they will be hoping to pick up their first point of the season this week.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid twice came from behind to draw with Villarreal at El Madrigal on the opening day. Diego Simeone and his men hosted Girona in their second match last weekend and showed why they had one of the best home records in this division last season. Los Colchoneros ran out comfortable 3-0 winners and will be hoping for a similar result this week.
Atletico Madrid vs Espanyol Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Atletico Madrid kept a clean sheet against Girona last time out but that was a rare occurrence at home. Diego Simeone's men have kept a clean sheet in just two of their last nine games at the Civitas Metropolitano. Both teams scored in six of those games.
Espanyol are yet to find the back of the net this season but I fancy them to get their first goal of the campaign this week. The visitors scored in each of their last seven meetings with Atletico Madrid and bets on btts - yes won in all but one of those encounters.
- Best Tip: BTTS - Yes
- Atletico Madrid vs Espanyol prediction: 2-1
