Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid Prediction – 17/08/2025

We say Atletico Madrid will win 0-2

Atletico Madrid may have lost just once in their last ten head-to-heads, but Espanyol cannot be underestimated, having held the side to a draw in four consecutive games. Having won against Newcastle United in their last friendly game, we predict Atletico Madrid will beat Espanyol in this fixture to end their four-game winless run.

Prediction: Over 1.5 goals

Espanyol scored in their last five meetings, while Atletico managed to exchange goals with the side on four occasions. It will be a tough match like the previous H2H, but we expect both teams to provide at least two goals in this encounter.

Match Preview: Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid

Last season was challenging for Espanyol, but somehow they managed to avoid relegation with eleven wins in thirty-eight appearances in the Spanish top flight. Despite losing on penalties to Girona in the Copa de Catalunya finals, Manolo Gonzalez’s team went on to impress in the pre-season, winning four in five games (D1).

Atletico have a better squad depth and attack force, which they will capitalize on in the upcoming clash. Having struggled to win against Los Periquitos in their last four meetings, a narrow win in their opening game will be a decent start for Diego Simeone’s side.
