Tip and bets
Espanyol's form is far from perfect now, but fans are expecting a success. Atletico are in a good form, almost all of their players are ready to defend the title. We think that visitors will record a victory due to a higher class of players and their motivation to rise to the top of the league.
Our prediction - Atletico to win
In our opinion, we shouldn't expect a number of goals in this match. Hosts will park the bus since the first minutes, Indians should be able to break through their opponent's defense, but after that they will probably start to play defensively as well.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
