Atl. Madrid - Espanyol Prediction, Picks and Tips
Atlético receive Espanyol in the Wanda Metropolitan days after having played against Arsenal their passage to the final of the Europa League in a demanding eliminatory. The team of Simeone is fighting for the symbolic second position, or rather in his case, for trying to finish the season ahead of Real Madrid, which is third and is four points away from the rojiblancos although with one game less.
Those of Simeone have been carried away in the last league appointments, in which they have lowered their level. They fell in Anoeta (3-0), drew against Betis (0-0) and suffered in Mendizorroza (0-1). The disappointing Espanyol does not know the defeat since the dismissal of Quique (victory in Girona 0-1 and 1-1 draw against Las Palmas).
Atlético have only scored one goal in the last three days. The rojiblanco team arrives at the meeting 'touched' physically after their tie against Arsenal. Espanyol has two consecutive matches without losing. Atlético is guaranteed a place in the Champions League and maintains four points ahead of Real Madrid visiting the Camp Nou.
