Goals Likely as Atletico Visit Espanyol

Atletico Madrid have won all five of their recent matches while scoring freely. Espanyol’s home games have produced three or more goals in most cases this season. The two sides have seen over two and a half goals in six of their last ten meetings. Atletico’s attack averages 2.6 goals per game overall and 2.0 away from home. Espanyol concede 1.5 goals per home game and both teams have scored in six of their eight league outings. This setup points toward an open contest where Atletico can create chances against a side that struggles to keep clean sheets. The main risk lies in Atletico’s own tight defense limiting the total.
