The home team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 5 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Real Valladolid, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Sevilla, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 18 points, against only 2 points in away matches. For the league, Espanyol won 18 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 1‑0 (4 out of 11 matches) and 1‑1 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 21 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Espanyol heads into this match after a 1-1 draw away to Sevilla, marking their third consecutive game without defeat in La Liga. The team's only goal was scored by Marash Kumbulla. The home side usually operates in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favouring a more defensive style of play while attacking through the central channel, with offensive transitions as their main weapon. In this setup, the three players responsible for unsettling the opposition’s defence should be Javi Puado, Antoniu Roca, and Roberto Fernández. Out of this match are José Gragera, Pablo Ramón, and Brian Oliván, all sidelined due to injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Joan García, Marash Kumbulla, Omar El Hilali, Leandro Cabrera, Carlos Romero, Urko González, Pol Lozano, Alex Král, Javi Puado, Jofre Carreras, Roberto Fernández Jaén.
Coach: L. Ramis Monfort.

In the last match, they won in an away match against Real Valladolid, by (0‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 28 goals scored and 10 conceded at home, against 22 goals scored and 10 conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got an away win against Brest by (0‑3). In the last 10 away league matches Real Madrid has a record of 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 21 points out of 30 possible.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times but have turned the score around in 3.

Real Madrid heads into this clash full of confidence after a 3-0 victory away to Stade Brest in the Champions League. In their last La Liga fixture, the visitors also secured a 3-0 win over Real Valladolid. The Merengues are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 tactical system, adopting a more attacking approach to put Espanyol's defence under pressure. In this setup, the players responsible for unsettling the opposition's backline should be Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and Kylian Mbappé. Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be without Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão, both sidelined due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Thibaut Courtois, Antonio Rüdiger, Lucas Vázquez, Fran García, Jude Bellingham, Dani Ceballos, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, Vinícius Júnior.
