Recent form

Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid are showing promising form, with an unbeaten run in their last six games, including four wins and two draws. Their offensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, having scored an impressive 17 goals in these matches, averaging 2.83 goals per game. The standout performance was a high-scoring friendly against Kitchee, which ended in a resounding 6-1 victory for Atlético. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. The team's total goal average of 3.67 per match indicates exciting, high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite this strong form, Atlético currently sit 9th in La Liga after just one game, suggesting there's room for improvement as they look to climb the table in the coming weeks.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol is experiencing a concerning run of form, currently sitting in 19th position in La Liga with no points from their first two league games. The team is on a three-game losing streak, which includes their two La Liga matches and a friendly against FC Heidenheim. Their last six games have resulted in only one win, two draws, and three losses, indicating a struggle to find consistency. Defensively, Espanyol has shown some resilience with three clean sheets in their last six matches, but their offensive output is worryingly low, scoring only 0.33 goals per game. The majority of their recent games (83%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend of low-scoring encounters. With both teams scoring in only 17% of these matches, Espanyol's games have generally been tight affairs, but the team is currently finding it difficult to turn draws into wins or avoid defeats.

Recent home/away form

Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid's recent home form shows a mix of positive results and one notable setback. They are currently on a two-game winning streak at home, having defeated Girona 3-0 in La Liga and Juventus 2-0 in a friendly. Prior to these victories, they experienced a surprising 4-1 loss to Osasuna, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and their only defeat in the last six home matches. Despite this loss, Atlético has maintained a strong defensive record overall, keeping three clean sheets in their last six home games. Their offensive output has been solid, scoring an average of 1.83 goals per game, with a total of 11 goals in these six matches. The team's ability to bounce back from the heavy defeat against Osasuna with two consecutive wins and clean sheets demonstrates resilience and suggests they are regaining their defensive stability at home.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent away form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak in their last three away matches. Their overall record in the last six away games shows only one win, two draws, and three losses, indicating a struggle to secure points on the road. The team has been particularly goal-shy, scoring just 2 goals in these 6 matches (an average of 0.33 goals per game), while conceding 4. Defensively, they've managed to keep 3 clean sheets, which is a positive aspect. However, their games tend to be low-scoring affairs, with 83% of these matches seeing under 2.5 goals. The lack of offensive output is a clear area of concern for Espanyol as they aim to improve their away performances.
