Match Facts:
Real Madrid (1st, 49 pts):
- Zinedine Zidane's side are the only team who are yet to lose on home turf in LaLiga Santander this season. Their 11 league games at the Bernabeu have yielded nine wins and two draws.
- Real Madrid haven't been beaten by Espanyol in their own backyard for more than 20 years. The last time the Catalans emerged victorious from Los Blancos territory was in 1996, when they prevailed 2-1 through a Jordi Lardin double.
Espanyol (9th, 32 pts):
- Last matchday's 2-1 defeat at home to Real Sociedad ended Quique Sanchez Flores's men's three-game winning run. Despite this setback, ninth-placed Los Pericos remain just four points adrift of the last Europa League spot and so have plenty to play for.
- Espanyol have an excellent record on the road in LaLiga Santander this term, having recorded four wins, three draws and just three losses on their 10 away trips.
