Barcelona v Espanyol  – Saturday, 5.30pm

View all available markets at William Hill.

• Things were going great for Barcelona having gone nine games unbeaten (W8, D1) and extending their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points ahead of Real Madrid but their 2-0 defeat here in midweek against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League will leave a bitter taste in their mouth.
• Hansi Flick’s side will have it all to do next week in Madrid but you simply cannot write this Barcelona side off too easily and they should bounce back in style here given they’ve won all fifteen of their league games on home soil this season, incredible.
• Form can tend to get thrown out of the window in these kind of derby games but that’s definitely not the case for Barcelona in this particular fixture, they’ve lost none of their last twenty-nine league games against Espanyol (W22, D7), they are 11/2 with William Hill to come from behind and win this one.
  ——————————–
• Espanyol travel to the Nou Camp winless in their last thirteen La Liga games (L8, D5), whilst you have to go all the way back to 2009 for the last time they beat Barcelona away from home in a competitive fixture. 
• Before this poor run of form, the Parakeets’ had been in contention for a European spot but with this their worst winless run in a single La Liga campaign since February 2009 (14 games), that dream is slowly fading away.
• Despite an awful record against their rivals, Espanyol have found themselves in entertaining games this season and have seen both teams find the back of the net in nine of their last ten league games, expect more of the same in this one.
