Real Madrid is going to meet RCD Espanyol on the 16th of December at the Spanish Primera Liga. At the moment, the football players from Real Madrid can’t complain of any severe injury problem. On the other hand, Lassana Diarra is back and Hamit Altintop has resumed training again so that he could be fit in time.
Raphael Varane, the France U21 international talent managed to be in line for a terrific start in central defense. He came instead of the suspended Pepe. The coach of Espanyol, Mauricio Pochettino, received some positive news regarding the return of Serigio Garcia, who has recovered from a knee problem which kept him out of action since the middle of January.
The long-term absentees Walter Pandiani and Javi Marquez have also returned from their injuries, reinforcing the Catalan side. Also, the goalkeeper Cristian Alvarez and Juan Albin have reported to be close to making returns, and Ernesto Galan is available again.
Regarding the last five head-to head confrontations between the two teams, Real Madrid has categorically won all of them.
All in all, I think there is no room for doubt here. I am going to place a bet on Real Madrid’s victory. I bet 10 units at 1.10. The odds I used are from Bet365.
Indeed, there is no doubt about who is going to win this match…I placed a bet on the first goalscorer…5 units at 2.50 for Cristiano Ronaldo to score the first goal of this match. I used this odds from William Hill..
Honestly, what could RCD Espanyol do in front of the giant Real Madrid, apart from trying hard to avoid an embarassing result?
I don’t think the result of this match will put RCD Espanyol in an embarassing situation, even if they are not going to win…take a look at their football achievements and trophies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCD_Espanyol#Achievements …I, for example,expect a 2-0 or 2-1 victory for Real Madrid
