Espanyol are in really poor form lately. They haven't won in their last four games, with two losses and two draws, and they've only scored once in that time. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are struggling too, having lost two of their last five matches and drawn two others, but they did pick up a win recently.

Looking back at recent meetings between these two, Real Madrid have absolutely dominated. They've won the last six matches by comfortable margins, often scoring three or four goals. The games have been very one-sided. Given how badly Espanyol are playing and Real Madrid's total control in this fixture, Real Madrid should win this one comfortably.
