Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Thursday’s La Liga fixture:

Espanyol v Barcelona – Thursday, 8.30pm

• Espanyol come into this derby fixture off the back of three defeats in a row, including a 3-2 loss against relegation threatened Leganes on Sunday afternoon, they remain in fourteenth place but only five points above the drop with three games left to play.
• The Parakeets lost this fixture 4-2 back in May 2023 and the defeat handed Barcelona the title, history could well repeat itself here on Thursday night although they haven’t lost back-to-back home games in over two years.
• It’s a derby that rarely goes in the favour of Espanyol on home soil, they’ve won just one of their last eighteen competitive games against Barcelona whilst being the home side, remarkable.
  ——————————–
• It looked like Barcelona had given Real Madrid a way back into title contention on Sunday after falling 2-0 behind early in El Clasico but Barca do what they’ve done all season and scored goals to get them out of trouble, they’ve now scored ninety five goals in this league campaign.
• Barcelona could already be champions by the time they kick off here, it’ll depend on the Real Madrid result on Tuesday evening but if not, a victory for Hansi Flick’s side will not only do the job, it’ll complete a domestic treble on their rivals turf.
• Barcelona have won the last two head-to-heads between these two sides, whilst the last three played at Espanyol have all seen both teams on the scoresheet, two of which ended in a 2-2 draw, we should be in for more goals in this one.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Barcelona To Win, Espanyol 1-2 Barcelona.
