Espanyol vs Barcelona
Spanish Primera Division, 20h00
Tonight is a special night in Catalunia. The City of Gaudi is divided between "los pericos" and "los cules".
One cannot find a better time for these two sides to clash horns. Espanyol are having their best start of the season in years, with 7 out of 7 home wins. Coach Pochettino has really made it hard for Barcelona every time they met.
Barcelona have won 7 out of 7 away games and have not conceded in the last 6 games scoring 26 goals while conceding none. But the head to head record is as neutral as it can be with Barcelona winning 3 and Espanyol 2 of the last ten clashes between them.
I tip Espanyol not to lose this clash, at 7/2.
