Reasoning

The available data is extremely thin — Espanyol have played only one match (a 3-0 home win over Levante), while Real Madrid are yet to play this season, leaving no competitive form to assess. Espanyol are missing key forward Puado, midfielder Garcia, and defender Cabrera, which significantly weakens their spine. Real Madrid, despite absences of Militao, Mendy and Rodrygo, retain a far deeper squad and typically dominate this fixture; against a depleted Espanyol, an away win is the most plausible outcome.
