The program of the 33rd round of the Spanish Primera Division offers us the Catalan derby between Espanyol and Barcelona. The clash of the "Estadio Cornella El Prat" is on Saturday. The two teams will come out for their match No 162 against each other, as Barcelona has the advantage of 92 wins, Espanyol has 34 successes and the draws are 35. Logically, Barcelona is favorite to win the three points by a factor of 1.25, with a draw at 6.00 and the symbolic victory for the hosts is estimated at 12.00.
Espanyol is in the middle of the table with a total of 42 points. The team is away from the relegation zone and is without a chance of ranking in European club competitions. So, the composition led by Sergio Gonzalez played out the championship and will come in this derby without much tension in the ranks. Espanyol are unbeaten in six straight rounds in La Liga and in the previous match finished in a draw during his visit to Levante (2:2). The team stabilized its performance in the households, as there is no loss at home in four consecutive games in which conceded only one goal. An injury continues to torment the defender Felipe Mattioni and the midfielder Victor Sanchez is with punishment for this match.
Baresolna is the big favorite to win the championship this season. The Catalan giants have a lead of two points over the second Real Madrid and missteps should not be allowed. The team was more than convincing in the rematch against the French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, as Barcelona took another victory, this time with 2:0 at home. They qualified for the semi-finals of the prestigious European club tournament. The team led by Luis Enrique has not lost in 13 consecutive meetings, in which recorded 12 wins and one draw. The trio in attack - Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez is in great shape and probably we can expect goals from them in this game. For the first time in a long period, there are no problems with injured or suspended players and Luis Enrique is available to use all his players for this Catalan derby.
The last victory of Espanyol over their city rivals is from the 2008/2009 season and it is undisputed that Barcelona is the absolute favorite in this match and we believe that forecast mentioned by football predictions for over 2.5 goals in this match is a good option to bet.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50 at bet365
