On Saturday, starting at 19:45, Espanyol – FC Barcelona, in the 15th round of LaLiga, 2018-2019, will be played.
The hosts scored only 2 goals in their own field in front of the rival in the last 7 games. However, FC Barcelona has not defeated the last 2 visits to “RCDE Stadium”.
Espanyol has a very good season in front of his supporters, getting 15 points out of 18 possible. He lost, however, surprisingly, the last confrontation, score 1-3 in front of Girone. Overall, Espanyol ranks 11th in LaLiga with 21 points, 7 away from FC Barcelona.
Lionel Messi’s formation does not evolve to a very high level this season. Palmares mediocre, only 3 wins in 6 rounds, too little for the high claims in Catalonia. FC Barcelona is still the leader in the ranking, with 28 points, 1 point away from the second position FC Sevilla. Not less than 11 LaLiga bands have a better defense than the Catalans, who have received 19 goals so far.
The “Boat” can win any game, but the look is not remarkable. The local rival Espanyol can take advantage of Barcelona‘s permissive defense, and we propose 2 picks in this note.
Probable teams:
Espanyol: D.Lopez – J.Lopez, D.Lopez, Hermoso, Villa – Granero, Roca, Darder – Baptistao, Iglesias, Piatti
FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen – Alba, Lenglet, Pique, Semedo – Vidal, Busquets, Rakitic – Coutinho, Messi, Dembele
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.60
