Espanyol are three points behind Real Madrid on the standings after their unexpected loss to Deportivo Alaves but they recovered well to see off Levante in their last match and they will be keen to claim a big scalp here, especially after having a free midweek while Real were busy in the Champions League. Counting their preseason matches as well, the loss to Alaves is the only one for Espanyol in their last 15 games, while they have scored in each of the 15. They also have just one loss in the last nine La Liga matches but have managed just four wins in the last 15 away matches in La Liga. Real Madrid have nine wins and three losses in their last 15 matches (preseason ones included) but they are unbeaten in their last six La Liga matches and have lost just once in the league in 16 matches. They have four straight home wins in La Liga and are unbeaten in 11 at home in the league, winning nine in the process. Real Madrid have averaged three goals a game in their last five league matches at home and while Espanyol, who have also scored in each of their last five away league games, have averaged 1.4 goals a game away from home. The last time the two sides met, Espanyol picked a 1 - 0 win, which was their only win in 12 matches - Real had beaten them in each of their previous 11.
