• Competition: Spain - La Liga
• Date: Saturday, 29th, March 2025
• Kickoff: 15:15 UK / 16.15 CET
• Venue: RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat)

Atletico Madrid are determined to steer their title aspirations in the right direction as it clashes with relegation-threatened Espanyol at RCDE Stadium on Saturday.

The Catalan side still feels the pressure of the danger zone after allowing Europen-chasing Mallorca to hand them a 2-1 defeat, despite drawing first blood in the final action before the international break, leaving them just one point above the bottom three, albeit with a game in hand.

From Atlético Madrid’s perspective, their championship ambitions suffered a major setback after they let a two-goal advantage slip away in a crushing 4-2 defeat to an offensively unstoppable Barcelona at the Wanda Metropolitano, pushing them four points behind the top spot with one more game played.

To avoid falling out of the title race, Simeone's team needs to figure out how to take maximum points from their Saturday clash, but that will be no straightforward task, as Espanyol have been extremely difficult to break down in front of their home fans this season. In fact, the Catalan outfit currently ranks as the eight-best home side in the top division, having not tasted defeat since late October, winning three and drawing five times in that span, a sequence that includes a stunning 1-0 upset over Real Madrid in February. As a result, we find it difficult to root for Simeone's men, who arrive in Catalonia with a lack of confidence, having endured three panfiul losses in their last four outings in any format, two of which came in the league, allowing as many as six goals in those. Not only have Espanyol been difficult to outplay on their own turf, but their forward line has also been remarkably dangerous, slicing through every defense they have faced in nine games since the start of the new year. Meanwhile, it will be a tough challenge for the Catalan team to keep Atlético Madrid’s explosive offense in check, as they have been netting two goals per match on the road in 2025, leading us to believe that both sides will be fired up in attack and deliver a thrilling Saturday clash packed with goal-scoring action.
