Luis Enrique’s outfit come into this Barcelona derby with recent history in their favour, as the Nou Camp club are unbeaten in 13 encounters with Espanyol.

However, what makes Coral’s bet of the day so enticing, is how Barca have defeated the Budgerigars in recent Catalan clashes.
In each of the Barcelona’s last three home meetings with Espanyol, the sides have produced a total of five or more goals making odds of 9/4 on a Barca win and over 4.5 goals in the game irresistible.
Combine this with the fact famed front-three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are now all fully fit, and a high scoring loss for their challengers looks likely.
However, Espanyol are no attacking slouches, possessing one of the leading away attacks in La Liga.
It won’t make pretty reading for Quique Sanchez Flores’ defenders, but Barca’s front three combined for a total of 131 goals last term, 59 of which came from Suarez.

The Uruguayan was just recently rewarded with a bumper new deal that stretches to 2021 and will be keen to repay the club with an outstanding performance.
Barcelona cannot afford to slip up in this derby meeting, as the Catalan giants find themselves six points behind bitter rivals Real Madrid at the peak of the division’s table.
Expect a statement win for Enrique’s title chasers looking to defend their crown.
