Espanyol did not start the season as they had hoped and in the first three games, they did not even manage to score a goal. After two goalless draws against Osasuna and Villarreal, Espanyol lost to Mallorca 1-0. Now they are welcoming the current champion and will have big problems putting together the backline. Sergio Gomez has been suspended while Lopez and Caler are in question. Espanyol will have big problems to stop the Athletic strikers, Suarez is still a world-class striker while a returnee to the ranks of Athletic, Griezmann is in fantastic form and scored two goals for France in the last game. Atletico has a good start to the new season in which they will try to defend the title, they have 7 points from 3 games. Atletico failed to win the last game against Villarreal in Madrid, the game ended 2-2 even though Atletico was a much better team. The guests will play without 4 players who played in the South American qualifiers, but even without them, I think they are currently a better team than Espanyol and they should take advantage of the problems that Espanyol has in defence. I expect a tough game with under 2.5 goals and Atletico to win this game 0-1 or 0-2.

My prediction: Atletico to win

西班牙人并没有像他们希望的那样开始本赛季，在前三场比赛中，他们甚至没有进球。在对阵奥萨苏纳和比利亚雷亚尔的两场没有进球的平局后，西班牙人以 0-1 不敌马洛卡。现在他们迎战卫冕冠军，并且将在后防线遇到很大的问题。塞尔吉奥·戈麦斯（Sergio Gomez）被禁赛，而洛佩兹和卡勒则出战存疑。西班牙人将在阻止对方进攻上面临大问题，苏亚雷斯仍然是世界一流的前锋，而回归的格列兹曼状态出色，上一场比赛为法国打进了两球。马竞在新赛季开局不错，他们将努力卫冕，他们在 3 场比赛中得到 7 分。上一场在对阵比利亚雷亚尔的比赛中，马竞未能取胜，尽管马竞是更好的球队，但比赛还是以 2-​​2 结束。客队将缺少参加南美预选赛的 4 名球员，但即使没有他们，我认为马竞目前依然比西班牙人更好，他们应该利用西班牙人在防守方面的问题。我预测这是一场艰难的比赛，进球数低于 2.5，马竞以 1-0 或 2-0 赢得这场比赛。

预测：马竞胜
