Espanyol started playing better and managed to score at least one goal regardless of outcome in 2018. The same happened in the match at the end of last week, when the Catalans played at home with Athletic Bilbao and drew at 1. Also in 2018 came the first victory of Espanyol away, managing to pass with 1-0 in Malaga, a result that confided the team. Also reaching the quarter-finals of the King Cup is also due to a match played away. In the previous round, Espanyol was forced to recapture the handicap with a goal after losing 1-2 in front of its supporters, but the mobilization was exemplary and defeated it 2-0 on Levante and 3-2 on the overall .
Barcelona is the best in Spain this year, managing to make a show in 2018, for which it retained its first place in the championship, where it has 11 points ahead of its main counterweight, Atletico Madrid. Blaugrana now comes after another spectacular match, Messi & Co. defeating 4-2 on Real Sociedad’s field, where the Argentine striker shone again, managing to score a goal and move decisively to another. Besides the fact that Ernesto Valverde’s team is unbeaten in all competitions, she knows very well to treat the King’s Cup, being the en-titre owner, and this was also seen in the previous tour, when after 1-1 with Celta Vigo in the tour, two hands was at the discretion, Barcelona winning 5-0 and 6-1 in general.

The clear difference in value between the two teams, but an Espanyol – Barcelona duel is more than a match, being the big pride in the middle, considering it is the derby of the Catalonia region. However, Barcelona in 2017 effectively destroyed Espanyol, defeating it with 5-0 on “Camp Nou” and 3-0 on “RCDE”. In such conditions, I expect to see again a spectacular match, which will have at least three goals, and the winner will be the team that is now visiting.
