Meanwhile, Espanyol are just behind in third with 10 points.<\/p><p>Real Madrid have strung together five consecutive wins across all competitions, including four in La Liga over Osasuna, Real Oviedo, Mallorca and Real Sociedad. Their latest league outing saw them defeat Sociedad 2-1 before edging Marseille by the same scoreline in Champions League.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\">&#127344;&#65039; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Camavinga?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Camavinga<\/a> &#129309; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/David_Alaba?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@David_Alaba<\/a> &#9917; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g89txF5pag\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/g89txF5pag<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Real Madrid C.F. &#127468;&#127463;&#127482;&#127480; (@realmadriden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realmadriden\/status\/1968736782205280600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 18, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Madrid vs Espanyol Best Bets<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bets<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full Time Result<\/td><td>Real Madrid: -450, Espanyol: +1100<\/td><td>Draw: +575<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draw No Bet<\/td><td>Real Madrid: -2000<\/td><td>Espanyol: +825<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Goals<\/td><td>Over 3.5: -102<\/td><td>Under 3.5: -135<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Real Madrid to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +150<\/td><td>No: +105<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Espanyol to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +1550<\/td><td>No: +1700<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>(Odds via&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Madrid vs Espanyol Preview <\/h2><p>Espanyol will arrive full of confidence here. After finishing 14th last season, Espanyol have started this campaign brightly, taking 10 points from four matches. A season-opening victory over Atletico Madrid set the tone, followed by a hard-fought draw with Real Sociedad, before consecutive wins against Osasuna and Mallorca propelled them into the top three.<\/p><p>It is worth remembering that the Catalans upset Los Blancos in February 2025 with a narrow 1-0 win. That will serve a reminder for Los Blancos that Espanyol can pose a tough challenge here. Espanyol will also have the slight advantage of being fresh for this match, with no midweek European commitments. That said, Alonso&rsquo;s men will still be on familiar ground and motivated to preserve their winning streak. With first place on the line for both sides, this clash promises to be competitive.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/harry-kane-sets-new-champions-league-record-surpassing-david-beckham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Harry Kane Sets New Champions League Record Surpassing David Beckham<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Madrid vs Espanyol&nbsp;Over\/Under Predictions<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Real Madrid vs Espanyol&nbsp;Under 3.5 Goals @ -135 as per BetMGM<\/a><\/strong><\/h3><p>Under 3.5 goals looks a sensible choice here. Real Madrid&rsquo;s all four league wins have gone under the mark (2&ndash;1, 2&ndash;1, 3&ndash;0, 1&ndash;0), with just two goals conceded in that stretch. Espanyol, meanwhile, have also shown resilience at the back, with two of their four league games staying under 3.5 goals. Their 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid and 1-0 victory against Osasuna highlight their ability to keep matches tight. As a result, the stats back Under 3.5 goals bet in this match.<\/p><p>\n\n\n            <div class=\"MvpBookmakerTable\" >\n                                                            <div
