Real Madrid – Espanyol Tip La Liga, Matchday 5 on Saturday, 09/20/25 at 4:15 p.m.
I always like to take advantage of the Interwetten bonus, but the home win odds for this match have simply been set too low.
A Real Madrid Espanyol tip on the Royals would therefore involve too much risk for too little return with both old and new sports betting providers.
The season is still young, but Real already needs to pace itself. The game against Marseille was more intense than expected, Alexander-Arnold got injured, and Huijsen is suspended for Saturday.
And the Catalans? They are still completely undefeated this season and also won the last direct duel 1-0.
Real Madrid vs. Espanyol Barcelona AI predictions:
Recommending a draw bet is perhaps something our AI model may have hit the nail on the head with.
It’s true that there hasn’t been a draw in 23 competitive games between the two sides, but that was mostly due to the superiority of Los Blancos.
At the start of this season and shortly after their first Champions League appearance, the unexpectedly strong Catalans could actually pull off something special. In any case, the risk-reward ratio for this bet is unbeatable.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Real Madrid win |

Espanyol Barcelona win |

1st goal: RCDE to Real Madrid Espanyol Barcelona betting odds of around 4.30 is another AI suggestion that offers an extremely good risk-reward ratio.
Especially since Real was already trailing 0-1 after about 18 minutes in its last La Liga home game against Mallorca.
I would also not ignore both teams scoring in my Real Madrid vs. Espanyol tip at betting odds of around 1.91, but rather use it to enrich an already lucrative combination bet slip.
