Barcelona vs Espanyol: Catalan Derby Preview, Team News & Prediction

Barcelona aim to extend their perfect La Liga run as they welcome Espanyol for Saturday’s Catalan derby. They head into the game seven points clear at the top and eager to bounce back from a Champions League setback. Injuries could shape the line-up, with Pedri sidelined and Gavi pushing for a start. Frenkie de Jong may return, while Espanyol will welcome back Pere Milla but remain without a league win since December. We expect an open contest with goals at both ends. Betting pointers: over 2.5 goals, both teams to score and a Barcelona victory. Correct score prediction: 3-1 to the hosts.
