Espanyol will host Barcelona in the 36th round of the Spanish Championship on May 15. Will the parrots be able to create a sensation in the derby and take away points from a higher-status opponent, or will the blue-garnet ones win and take the championship title? In the betting tip, we analyzed in detail the form in which the teams approach the face-to-face meeting and selected the most reliable bids. What will be the outcome?
Command Analysis
Espanyol
SpainCurrent form
Espanyol was one of the potential candidates for relegation from Primera before the start of the season. In terms of player selection, the parrots were inferior to some direct competitors, but they were not considered the main outsiders. The blue and white team frankly failed the starting segment of the championship and immediately settled at the very bottom of the standings, fully justifying their status at the start.
In general, Espanyol spent the entire first round very poorly and it seemed that the departure was imminent, but they managed to improve. In the second half of the championship, the parrots began to win much more often and very timely escaped from the danger zone, where there was a risk of getting bogged down completely. In general, Manolo Gonzalez's team has not yet guaranteed itself a place in the elite, but the chances of salvation are very high.
Espanyol currently occupies the 16th place in the table with 39 points and is five points away from the relegation zone - three rounds before the finish of the championship, such a handicap can be called significant. The situation could have been much more comfortable, but recently the parrots have fallen into crisis – after losing 2-3 to Leganes in the last round, Espanyol suffered their third defeat in a row.

Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
Barcelona traditionally sets itself maximum goals in all tournaments in which it participates, and this season the selection of players also required betting on several trophies. In the first round, the blue-garnet had several mistakes, which Real Madrid skillfully took advantage of and managed to gain a decent lead by the start of the second half of the season.
However, in the second round, Barcelona made much less mistakes, and the main competitor, on the contrary, gave out several failed matches and quickly lost the advantage, and then the Catalans completely went into the gap. Along the way, Barcelona won the Spanish Cup, beating Real Madrid 3-2 in extra-time in the final in a difficult match. But in the Champions League, a fiasco happened - Inter were eliminated in the semifinals.
In the last round of the championship, Barcelona hosted Real Madrid in El Clasico and in this match the cream needed only a victory in order to revive the intrigue, four points separated the Catalans from the Galacticos. Despite the fact that by the 14th minute the blue-garnet team was losing 0:2, they saved the match and won with a score of 4:3 - seven advantage points three rounds before the finish practically guarantee the title.

2.15Tip and bets
Barcelona will obviously strive to put a bright spot in the season in the upcoming match – a victory in the derby guarantees the blue-garnet championship title today. The task for Blaugranas is not the most difficult, Espanyol has recently seriously slowed down, having suffered three defeats in a row, and they are significantly inferior in the parrot class. Despite the fact that only a few days have passed since El Clasico, Barcelona is able to find the resources to guarantee itself the championship title in the derby, it makes sense to count on a confident victory of the favorite.
We believe that the favorite will not let you down. The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Barcelona. This bet is offered with odds of 1.95
Bet on the total
Barcelona is playing openly, today they will obviously strive only for victory and will not change their style. The blue-garnet players score a lot and regularly, Espanyol is not particularly reliable in defense – in the last round, the parrots conceded three goals from, to put it mildly, not the most productive Leganes. Obviously, the hosts will miss a lot, but at the same time, the white and blue are unlikely to close tightly at their gates, Espanyol knows how to play second number and scores in almost every match, the hosts are quite capable of responding with their ball.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.75
Combined bid
Barcelona today has a great opportunity to take the derby title and put a bright point in a more than successful season. The advantage in the blue-garnet class is obvious and it is unlikely that Espanyol has a real chance to get points and create a sensation, besides, recently the parrots in the game have not been impressive at all. Barcelona will obviously take their three points, but at the same time it will be difficult to beat Espanyol dry – in 16 of the last 17 matches, the white and blue scored, and in the last two Barcelona derbies they also did not leave dry.
The bet is Barcelona's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 2.65
