Espanyol hosts Barcelona in the big Catalan derby of La Liga. This is the game that could make Barca champions of Spain again. They are currently 7 points ahead of Real Madrid in the standings. Stay with us and these High odds soccer bet predictions for underdogs.
Barca are touching the title now. Hansi Flick’s team enjoyed a dramatic 4-3 win against Real Madrid on Sunday. Now they need a win on Thursday in order to be crowned as champions.
Raphinha scored a brace against Real Madrid while Eric Garcia and Lamine Yamal put the ball in the net, too. It was an amazing match at the Montjuic – full of drama and adrenaline.
Hansi Flick could put the same line-up on the pitch, but maybe he will make some changes. Alejandro Balde returned from injury in El Classico, so most likely he will start in the local derby against Espanyol. Robert Lewandowski is another player who could return in action, but it won’t be surprising if Ferran Torres start the game again – he made three assists in the match against Madrid.
Espanyol are 14th in the standings with 39 points won from 35 matches played. Los Perricos are not in a good shape, though – they lost their last three matches in the league. Will they make it four in a row against Barca now?
Last weekend Espanyol faced Leganes away from home, but the match ended with a 3-2 win for the hosts. Cabrera and Pere Milla scored two late goals for Espanyol, but there wasn’t enough time for something more.
Joan Garcia is one of the stars in Espanyol’s squad. He’s regarded as one of the best Spanish goalkeepers at the moment. His performance will be crucial against Barca.
That’s the High odds soccer bet predictions for underdogs for the Catalan derby between Espanyol and Barcelona in La Liga. Let’s see if Barca will become champions again!
