Recent form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol have shown impressive form in their recent matches, going unbeaten in their last six games with four wins and two draws. The team have demonstrated solid defensive capabilities, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. Their attacking prowess is also noteworthy, scoring 11 goals across these six matches at an average of 1.83 per game. A particularly high-scoring game was their 4-1 victory over Peralada in a friendly match. Espanyol's current streak of six games without a defeat is commendable, suggesting they are in good form heading into the new season. Their balanced goal-scoring record, with 50% of matches seeing both teams score and an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, indicates a team capable of adapting to different match scenarios.

Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with four wins and two losses in their last six matches. The team have demonstrated their attacking prowess, scoring 10 goals in these games, including a particularly impressive 4-0 victory against Girona in La Liga. However, their defensive record has been inconsistent, with three clean sheets but also a heavy 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup. Atlético have managed to bounce back from losses, never suffering consecutive defeats in this period. Their goal-scoring average of 1.67 per game is respectable, but their defensive record of conceding one goal per game suggests room for improvement. Interestingly, only 17% of their matches saw both teams score, indicating that when Atlético win, they often do so convincingly.

Recent home/away form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent home form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team experiencing both highs and lows. They have won three of their last six home matches, including a friendly victory against Southampton and a convincing 2-0 win over Las Palmas in La Liga. However, they also suffered back-to-back defeats against Barcelona and Real Betis, highlighting some inconsistency in their performances. Espanyol have managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, demonstrating their defensive capabilities at times. While there are no particularly high-scoring games in this run, it's worth noting that both teams have scored in 50% of the matches, and the majority (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals. The team's average of 1.17 goals scored per game suggests they've been relatively modest in attack, but their defensive record of conceding just one goal per game on average has helped them maintain a positive goal difference.

Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a pattern of alternating wins and losses in their last six matches. The team have shown both impressive attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities on their travels. Notably, they recorded two high-scoring victories, thrashing Girona 4-0 in La Liga and defeating Seattle Sounders 3-1 in the FIFA Club World Cup. However, they also suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint Germain in the same tournament. Atlético have managed two clean sheets in these six away games, but have also conceded eight goals, averaging 1.33 goals conceded per game. Their goal-scoring record is respectable, with nine goals in six matches, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Interestingly, both teams scored in only 17% of these matches, while there was an even split between games with under and over 2.5 goals.
