As a team that could be in the relegation battle, any point against a top side feels like a win. They currently are out of the relegation zone due to a superior goal difference. But it was a Sergi Gomez red card 30 minutes in that put their backs against the wall. Los Blancos are 2-0-0 to start the campaign, averaging three goals a game.

Espanyol vs Real Madrid Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction... (The Hard Tackle)

Real Madrid will take on Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium on Sunday and will be looking to secure an away victory this weekend.

However, Real Madrid have been leaky at the back on their travels, so Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba will have to be vigilant. Real Madrid are a much better side compared to Espanyol, and they will be the favourites to pick up all three points. Meanwhile, Espanyol are coming into this game on the back of a defeat, and they will be under pressure to bounce back strongly. Real Madrid have no notable injury concerns, and it remains to be seen how Carlo Ancelotti sets up his side for this game. Karim Benzema has looked in good touch, and Real Madrid will be expected to pick up a comprehensive win on their travels. Carlo Ancelotti will demand a proper title defence this season, and Los Blancos cannot afford to drop points against teams like Espanyol.

Real Madrid Predicted Starting XI vs Espanyol for La Liga Matchday 3 (The Real Champs)

Real Madrid Predicted Starting XI vs Espanyol · GK – Thibaut Courtois. Beginning the predictions with an easy bet. · RB – Dani Carvajal · CB – Eder Militao · CB – David Alaba · LB – Ferland Mendy.

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind about the Frenchman’s starting position because of his recent unwavering performance levels. Ferland Mendy, the team’s left-back, is arguably one of the purest defensive fullbacks we see in modern football. Eder Militao is expected to start this game, but whether he will continue to do so in the future is unknown and entirely dependent on him. Alaba is a key presence on the field and an easy starter without hesitation. With Antonio Rudiger poised to challenge him for the starting spot, Militao’s guaranteed starts may be limited if he does not step up soon. Interestingly, Real Madrid have failed to win in their past two away games against the Barcelona-based club.

His pace coupled with Benzema’s world-class finishing should be virtually unstoppable against a defense that’s allowed 2 goals per game. I’m not about to suggest Real Madrid at -220, but I actually think they’re light years better than most other teams. Last season, it was Espanyol’s ability to score that led to a 14th-place finish in the league. Real beat Alermia 2-1 and Celta Vigo 4-1. Real Madrid, despite having transferred M Casemiro to Manchester United, are still the favorites.

Real Madrid continue their early defence of the La Liga title this weekend as Carlo Ancelotti's side make the trip to Espanyol.

It could be Alaba at left back, but the suggestions are that Ancelotti views him as central to the way his team plays out from the back. They have yet to claim a win and their top scorer looks to be on his way out of the club. Ancelotti's team have started their campaign with back-to-back victories - can they make it three-in-a-row at the RCDE Stadium? Espanyol 0 Real Madrid 1 (12' Vinicius Jr) - There's the opening goal and it's Vinicius who rolls the ball into the back of the net! There is speculation that the striker could be on his way out of the La Liga club. 30 mins to KO: Modric was exceptional in Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Celta Vigo at Balaidos last weekend. RDT is one of the best finishers in the Spanish game right now. The Croatian will be 37 next month, but he has never been more influential for Los Blancos. 14 mins: The finish from Vinicius was great, but the play of Tchouameni was crucial to making that goal happen. 3 mins: It's been a challenging start to the season for Espanyol. Tchouameni played the pass into the Brazilian winger and he converts! 20 mins: Espanyol believe they should have been awarded a spot kick for what they saw as a handball by Tchouameni inside the box.

Real Madrid visit Espanyol on matchday 3 of LaLiga 2022/23 having won their first two games.

Real Madrid move it about at the back to get us underway. They win a free-kick some 10 yards inside the Madrid half and it feels like a chance to create something. Real Madrid are facing six games in the next 22 days, including a derby against Atlético Madrid on 18 September, before the international break. Lacomte comes out for a long ball over the top, and there's a moment of panic as the Espanyol defense aren't sure who is going to clear it. Kroos is bundled to the ground. Can they try and move the ball faster and take Madrid's defense by surprise? Benzema holds the ball and plays in Vinicius down the left. He had a great chance in the middle of the box from a long corner that was knocked back to him, but his shot was blocked. They were struggling to get their foot on the ball before, but now they actually need something. Vinicius runs into the box down the left-hand side, and he's dispossessed before tumbling to the ground. Rodrygo running through get the ball and backheels for Vinicius... All manner of shoving and pushing as the Kroos stands over the free-kick.

Karim Benzema struck twice late on to give Real Madrid a 3-1 win over Espanyol and maintain the Spanish champions' 100 per cent start to the La Liga season.

Espanyol 0 Real Madrid 1 (12' Vinicius Jr) - There's the opening goal and it's Vinicius who rolls the ball into the back of the net! The Real Madrid defender played a loose pass to the edge of his own box where Puado was able to control it and get the shot away. However, the block is made and Espanyol can't do anything to make the most of the opportunity. Real Madrid had control of the match for much of the first half, but Espanyol grew into the contest and they are level again after Joselu's equaliser! The goal won't count, but Real Madrid have been awarded a freekick on the edge of the box and the Espanyol goalkeeper has been sent off. Calero just nudges the Real Madrid winger as he attempts to control a pass from Valverde into the middle and that was enough to send him to the ground. 74 mins: Camavinga wins a freekick in a dangerous position, but Real Madrid couldn't make the most of the opportunity. A cross into the middle causes chaos in the Real Madrid box, Joselu has two stabs at the shot and his second shot forces Courtois into a reflex save! Espanyol pushed Real Madrid all the way, but the quality of Benzema told in the end. Espanyol 1 Real Madrid 3 (90+10' Benzema) - Cabrera goes in goal as Espanyol have used all their subs and Benzema lashes home the freekick from the edge of the box. Lecomte might have made a number of saves, but the Espanyol goalkeeper was a weakness that Real Madrid ultimately exposed. Camavinga then came off the bench in the second half to give Real Madrid greater drive and energy on the ball.
