Espanyol and Atletico Madrid will bring to the table their different aspirations when they clash this Saturday in La Liga. Placed third, Atletico are in the title race, while Espanyol are just one point outside the relegation zone. Follow on for our prediction of this match.

Espanyol went into the international break off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Mallorca. That was another case where they took the lead but couldn’t protect it. Los Periquitos have lost points from a winning position three times in the last four matches.

At home they are unbeaten in eight, with five of them draws. They failed to score twice in 10 La Liga home matches while keeping two clean sheets.

Atletico Madrid haven't necessarily played badly in recent matches but hard luck means they’ve dropped in the league standings. After 28 rounds, they are four points behind Barcelona.

Their recent 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League counted for little as they lost controversially on penalties. Inside 90 minutes, Atletico have lost three of their last four matches.

Los Colchoneros haven't just lost matches, Diego Simeone’s side famed for their defensive prowess, have been keeping really few clean sheets. The team conceded in 10 of the last 15 matches. Both teams scored in four of their last five away matches.
