Game Totals Prediction

Atlético need to stabilize their form and results if they want to finish high in La Liga. After a bright first half of the season, Espanyol have been disappointing this year, with a long losing streak under their belt. It will be difficult for the club to stay in the European Cup spots. Simeone's men will prevail in this match, as the "mattress makers" will take advantage of their opponent's confusion, especially since the Madrid side always plays with renewed energy and commitment at home: Atlético win with a handicap of (-1) – 1.75.
