Real Madrid host Espanyol at Santiago Bernabeu on 31st January, Sunday with Zinedine Zidane still finding his feet as a La Liga boss. Real Madrid are on the third position with forty four points, seven points off Barcelona at the summit.
A draw against Real Betis further hurt the Los Blancos’ chances of challenging for the league title and they must win against Espanyol to close the gap on the second-placed Atletico Madrid who lost 2-1 at Barcelona on Saturday.
Espanyol are on the fourteenth place in league standings with only six wins and twenty two points and have not won any of their last five league fixtures, losing three and drawing two. The recent poor form has seen the Catalan club get embroiled in a possible relegation battle.
