Where to Watch Espanyol vs Barcelona for free in La Liga?

Barcelona overcame Real Madrid in the El Clásico, putting them in a strong position to win the 2024–25 La Liga. They will now get ready to play Espanyol, their local rivals, on Thursday at the RCDE Stadium. A three-point victory over Espanyol would declare them the champions, but if the Los Blancos lose to Mallorca, they might go into this match as the winners.

After winning 10, drawing 9, and losing 16 of their 35 La Liga games this season, Espanyol is now in 14th position in the rankings. Los Periquitos, who have only picked up one point from their past four games since defeating Getafe 1-0 on April 18, will go into Thursday's derby showdown on the heels of a dismal run of play. Before losing three straight games against Villarreal, Real Betis, and Leganes, they played out a 1-1 tie with Valencia.

Espanyol will be hoping that home-field advantage will spur them to their first La Liga triumph against Barcelona since defeating them 2-1 on the road in February 2009. Los Periquitos will be eager to return to the RCDE Stadium, where they have only lost once in their past 11 league games; however, that one loss was in their most recent home game against Betis, following a disappointing trip to Butarque.

After recovering from their heartbreaking Champions League semi-final loss to Inter Milan, Barcelona defeated arch-rivals Real Madrid 4-3 on Sunday at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, putting them in a position to win the league title. Barcelona, who now lead the standings by seven points, might win La Liga for the 28th time on Wednesday if Real Madrid loses against Mallorca. However, if Los Blancos triumph, the Blaugrana will need to defeat Espanyol to win on matchday 36.

With 95 goals in 35 league games this season, Barcelona will be eager to hit a century of La Liga goals before the season ends, even though winning the title is the ultimate aim. Having won each of their past five away league games and 14 of their last 15 La Liga games, they will be optimistic about taking home the most points from Thursday's contest. Additionally, they have won three of their past twenty-seven La Liga derbies against Espanyol, including the rematch in November, when Dani Olmo and Raphinha both scored goals in the first thirty-one minutes.

In terms of health, Robert Lewandowski is unlikely to start for Barcelona because of his recent troubles with a hamstring injury, but Alejandro Balde is vying for a starting spot after playing more than 30 minutes against Real Madrid off the bench.
