After dropping two points in a goalless draw with Real Betis, Real Madrid will look to return to winning ways when they take on Espanyol on Matchday 25.
Los Blancos are eager to stay in the title race, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at los Periquitos.
Dani Carvajal should replace Lucas Vazquez in the starting XI, while David Alaba remains in the recovery room. Fellow defender Ferland Mendy, though, should recover in time to face Espanyol.
The Catalans, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Real Valladolid, but seeing that Real Madrid are desperate to melt Barcelona’s advantage in the standings, home win should be considered.
You should know that Espanyol suffered a loss in each of the previous eight meetings with Real Madrid at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. As for the away team, both Keidi Bare and Adria Pedrosa are sidelined with injuries.
