Espanyol and Barcelona will face each other today, February 13 at 3:00 PM (ET) at the RCDE Stadium in a game valid for Matchday 24. Here you will find all the information about this game, such as the preview, storylines, predictions, odds and how to watch this 2021-2022 La Liga game live in the US.
It will be a new edition of the Derby de Catalonia, perhaps one of the most uneven in Spain and throughout Europe. On one side will be the hosts, Espanyol, who, as always when they play this game against their rival, are the least favorites. They are currently in 13th position in the standings, far from the fight to enter the international Cups, so the only satisfaction they could have this season would be to beat Barcelona, who they have not beaten in La Liga since February 21, 2009.
On the side of the “Culés” this 2021/2022 season has been really bad for what is usually the Catalan team. They were left out of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, they were eliminated in both the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup, and they are also far from the fight for La Liga. However, a Derby is always a separate game, and for Barcelona winning this game is little more than an obligation.
