Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid prediction, odds and how to watch

Atletico Madrid dismantled Osasuna 4-0 at home, with goals from Jonathan David, Kang-in Lee, Robin Le Normand and Álex Baena completing a statement performance. Osasuna had no answer and, frankly, never looked like they would.

Atletico Madrid put Real Sociedad to the sword at the Reale Arena, with Jonathan David and Giuliano Simeone both scoring in the final minutes to wrap up a 3-0 win that was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests.

Roberto Fernández scored twice inside 17 minutes to give Espanyol a commanding 2-0 victory away at Osasuna, a result that tells you everything about where both clubs are right now.

Atletico Madrid travel to Espanyol on Saturday in confident form, facing a home side that has won just once in their last five La Liga matches. Something has to give at RCDE Stadium.

Atletico Madrid limp into Tuesday's Champions League clash having won just once in their last five European outings. Manchester United arrive with a point to prove and, on this evidence, reason for cautious belief.

Málaga have scored just once in four La Liga matches and have not won in that time. Espanyol arrive with problems of their own, but they at least know how to find the net.

Deportivo Alaves arrive at this La Liga fixture in confident form, but Atletico Madrid are not a side you write off. Sunday's clash has the makings of a proper contest.
