Barcelona vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa del Rey
by Steve Ashfield | in Football Predictions
It was an 88th minute Oscar Melendo goal that gave Espanyol a 1-0 win in the first leg of this last sixteen Copa del Rey tie. Barcelona played that game with a strong side that included Messi up front but let Luis Suarez on the subs bench. That defeat is the only loss Barcelona have suffered in the last 31 games and they will be all-out to get back in this game and reach the quarter finals. Barcelona have won their last four home games by an aggregate score of 14-0 and their only home defeats since September 2016 have been In the Super Cup losing to Real Madrid and Espanyol. They do tend to enjoy playing Espanyol at home though, scoring 19 goals in their last four home league games against them. Since 2010, only Real Madrid have won a Copa del Rey game at Barcelona so it's a very tough task for Espanyol. The visitors are 14th in La Liga and only eight points above the relegation zone. They lost 3-0 at home to Sevilla at the weekend but that ended a run of four games without defeat. Away form is poor though with just one win in nine league games so far and just six goals in those matches. They do have four points from their last two away league games but they were played against the bottom two sides in the table. Barcelona won't want to exit this competition and with their awesome home form can turn things around. Go for over 2.5 goals in this match.
