Espanyol returned to La Liga this season, but in the next, they could be again part of the second level of football in Spain. Espanyol collected 20 points after 21 matches and are one point behind the safety. There are 17 rounds left to the end of the season, so Espanyol has more than enough time, but they need to start winning more points to avoid panic in the coming months. Espanyol's form is disappointing, as they won only one of the last eight matches. In the previous game, they played 1-1 on the road against Sevilla. The guests had 26% ball possession and six shots on the goal, but they still found a way to pick up one point. 

At the start of the season, Real Madrid wasn't on the expected level. However, after impressive form in the last two months, they propelled themself to the top La Liga position. They are currently four points ahead of Atletico Madrid, while their arch-rival, Barcelona, is seven points behind. Real Madrid are in a run of five wins in a row in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 3-0 on the road in the Champions League against Brest. The difference between teams shouldn't be that big, according to what we have seen, but Real Madrid's masterful efficiency made a big difference. 

Espanyol vs Real Madrid pick: Under 3.5 goals

Espanyol scored only five goals in the last eight matches. On the other hand, Real Madrid allowed only two goals in the previous four games. We shouldn't expect more than three goals on Saturday night at RCDE Stadium.

The winter transfer window is close to the end, but Espanyol didn't make that big move that will save them from relegation. They only loaned Roberto Fernandez and Urko Gonzalez de Zarate. Both players already debuted for their new club.

Real Madrid is still without any transfer move in January. They are playing well right now, and maybe Carlo Ancelotti's team doesn't need additions to achieve the season goals. 

Most Real Madrid players are healthy for Saturday's game against Espanyol. Daniel Carvajal and Eder Militao are unavailable, while Eduardo Camavinga and Jesus Vallejo are questionable.
