Espanyol Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Soccer Betting Tips
What a nightmare season for Espanyol Barcelona. Very interesting last year to the point of qualifying for the LIgue Europa, the Catalans are much more in difficulty this year since they close the march in the classification in this championship with 5 lengths behind the first non-relegation. Defeated by Granada (2-1), they then dominated Mallorca (1-0) before drawing a draw against Seville (2-2) and losing again against Valladolid last week (2-1). Thursday, they saved the honor against Wolverhampton in the knockout stages of the Europa League (3-2) after completely missing the first leg (4-0).
Opposite, Atlético Madrid is recovering colors after having crossed a fairly complicated pass in recent weeks. Indeed, the Colchoneros had lost 4 games in 5 games in all competitions but they recovered well. After winning against Granada (1-0), they got a point against Valencia (2-2) before beating Villarreal last weekend (3-1). Diego Simeone’s men also made an impression by dominating Liverpool in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League (1-0).

The Espanyol still has to contend with the forfeits of Naldo, Vargas and Campuzano, his providential striker Raul de Tomas and the usual replacement Corchia who are still stuck in the infirmary.
The Colchoneros will always be deprived of the Mexican Herrera and the French Lemar who are injured. Last week, young Joao Felix scored for his return.
