Atletico Madrid vs Espanyol

Espanyol are the opponent Atlético de Madrid have won the most times in their history in LaLiga (83 wins in 162 games) and are also the only opponent against which they have scored more than 300 goals in the competition (307).

Atlético de Madrid and Espanyol have drawn their last two league games (both in the 2022/23 season) and only once in history they have drawn three consecutive games in the competition (three between 2005 and 2006).

Atlético de Madrid have not lost any of their last six games against Espanyol in LaLiga (W3 D3); and should they go undefeated they will equal their best unbeaten run against them in the 21st Century in the competition (seven between 2014 and 2017, W5 D2).

Espanyol have won on two of their last three trips to the Comunidad de Madrid in LaLiga (L1), only one win fewer than in their 27 previous visits to the region (W3 D4 L20). Having last won 2-1 in Vallecas in May 2023, they will be looking to string together two straight wins in Madrid for the first time since 2013 (two).

Atlético de Madrid have won 26 of their last 29 games at the Metropolitano in LaLiga (D1 L2), failing to score in only one of these last 29 home games: 0-3 against Barcelona in March 2024.
