Real Madrid is aiming for three consecutive wins at the start of the 2022-23 La Liga season when they head to the RCD Stadium on Sunday evening, August 28 to face Espanyol.
Preview of the match between Espanyol and Real Madrid in the La Liga
Los Blancos beat Almeria and Celta Vigo in their first two games of the season, while Espanyol earned only one point from their matches with Celta and Rayo Vallecano.
Espanyol was incredibly relegated from Serie A in 2019-20, but they returned to the top level the first time by winning the Segunda Division, and the Catalan team finished 14th in La Liga last season.
The White and Blues were only four points outside the relegation zone in 2021-22, though, and there is no doubt that the fans will demand improvement this term.
Now under the management of former Osasuna and Granada coach Diego Martinez, Espanyol started the La Liga season with a 2-2 draw at Celta, but they could not build on the welcome point away from home, as they suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Rayo Vallecano last time.
Espanyol has a tough series of games coming up, facing Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Real Sociedad, and Valencia in the next five, and it will be interesting to see where they are in the table heading into the September international break.
The four-time Copa del Rey winners beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the corresponding match last season but suffered a 4-0 defeat when they traveled to the Bernabeu in April.

In the meantime, Real Madrid has enjoyed an excellent 2021-22 campaign, winning La Liga, the Champions League, and the Spanish Super Cup, and the challenge for them is to support him this season.
Carlo Ancelotti's team received a tough test by the newly promoted Almeria on the opening weekend of the new La Liga campaign but managed to run out 2-1.
The reigning champions were excellent at Celta last weekend and, at the same time, scored a 4-1 victory, with Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Vinicius Junior, and Federico Valverde on the scoresheet, the two victories left them in second place in the table behind Villarreal.
Real Madrid will be aware of their challenge this season in the form of Barcelona, who had a great transfer window in the summer, but Ancelotti's team is not believed to be planning anything dramatic late in the market despite allowing Casemiro to move to Manchester United.
Los Blancos will face Espanyol and Real Betis in their next two league games before the start of their Champions League campaign, with the holders of Group F tied alongside RB Leipzig, Celtic, and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Espanyol is sweating on the fitness of three players before this match, as Paul Lozano, Raul de Tomas, and Adria Pedrosa doubt the home team this weekend.
Espanyol vs Real Madrid
The Catalan team will definitely be without the services of Sergei Gomez, who received a red card in his team's 2-0 home defeat to Rayo last time.
Gomez's absence will open the door for Fernando Calero to come to the fourth round, but there are unlikely to be any changes elsewhere, with Ruben Sanchez possibly again joining Joselo and Nico Melamed in the final third.
As for Real Madrid, Toni Kroos and Rodrigo were unavailable for Celta last time due to illness and injury, respectively, but the pair should return for this match.
Nacho is a slight doubt after he missed a training session earlier this week with a muscle problem, although the defender has a chance to make the bench.
Aurelien chuamini should continue in the center, with the possibility that Kroos will replace Eduardo camavinga, while Valverde and Vinicius are again scheduled to join Benzema in the last third of the field.
Antonio Rudiger faces a battle to break into the starting lineup in the league this season, and the summer arrival from Chelsea is likely to be on the bench again.
