Recent form

Real Madrid

Real Madrid's recent form has been impressive, with the team currently on a three-game winning streak across all competitions. They've shown resilience in their last six matches, remaining undefeated with four wins and two draws. The team's defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, conceding only 0.5 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets during this period. While their offensive output has been solid, averaging 2 goals per game, it's interesting to note that 67% of their matches have seen under 2.5 total goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, more controlled games. The 3-1 victory against VfB Stuttgart in the Champions League stands out as their highest-scoring game in this stretch, demonstrating their ability to perform on the European stage as well as in La Liga, where they currently sit in 3rd position with 11 points from 5 games.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent form shows a remarkable turnaround, with their latest two matches resulting in victories after a challenging start to the season. The team has demonstrated resilience, bouncing back from a three-game losing streak to secure two consecutive wins in La Liga. Their most recent match against Deportivo Alavés was particularly noteworthy, ending in a high-scoring 3-2 victory. Despite conceding more goals than they've scored overall (7 conceded vs. 6 scored), Espanyol has managed to climb to 11th position in the league table with 7 points from 5 games. The team's ability to keep a clean sheet against Atlético de Madrid, a formidable opponent, highlights their defensive capabilities when needed. With an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, Espanyol's games have offered a mix of defensive battles and more open, high-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Real Madrid

Real Madrid's recent home form has been impressive, showcasing a strong run of five consecutive wins following a goalless draw against Real Betis in May 2024. This winning streak includes victories in various competitions, including La Liga, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and a friendly match. The team has been particularly solid defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six home games and conceding only two goals during this period. Offensively, Real Madrid has been consistent, scoring at least two goals in each of their five wins, with a notable 3-1 victory against VfB Stuttgart in the Champions League. The team's goal-scoring average of 2 goals per game, combined with their tight defense (conceding only 0.33 goals per game), demonstrates a well-balanced performance at home.

RCD Espanyol

Espanyol's recent away form has been underwhelming, with only one win in their last six matches on the road. The team is experiencing a goal drought, scoring just 0.33 goals per game and failing to find the net in four of their last six away fixtures. Defensively, they've shown some resilience, keeping three clean sheets and conceding an average of 0.67 goals per game. There's a notable trend of low-scoring matches, with 83% of their recent away games ending with under 2.5 goals. Espanyol's struggles are particularly evident in their current three-game winless streak away from home, which includes two consecutive 1-0 losses before their most recent 0-0 draw against Atlético de Madrid. Despite their offensive challenges, their defensive record has kept them competitive in most matches.
