Based on last 50 matches in "Spain. LaLiga", up to 12/31/2022
To build a prediction for the Barcelona - Espanyol match, scheduled for 31 December 2022, several key factors could influence the outcome. Barcelona have played 50 matches, in which they won 32 of them, drew 10 times and lost 8 matches. Espanyol, having played 50 matches, won 12 times, drew 16 matches and lost 22 defeats. In the league, Barcelona average 1.9 goals scored per game and 0.8 conceded. Espanyol average 1.1 scored and 1.5 conceded. These sides last met on 12 February 2022 at Espanyol's ground, where the match ended in a draw.
Why assume that the away team will not collapse and will be able to put up a fight. At least there definitely will not be a rout. Therefore, I am betting on the away team with insurance.
Espanyol do not play badly away, sitting deep in defense. Almost Barcelona’s entire squad was with their national teams, and they hardly played during the off-season. Also, in the last 4 head-to-head matches, Espanyol have not lost by more than 1 goal.
