Overview:

Tight La Liga Round 36 clash at RCDE Stadium between mid-table Espanyol and inconsistent Athletic Bilbao. Home advantage and H2H edge for Espanyol vs Bilbao's recent poor away form.

Recent H2H results: Espanyol 13W, Bilbao 11W, 10D (34 matches)

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-0 in favor of RCD Espanyol.
Espanyol will control possession and attack wide areas. Bilbao likely to sit deep, counter through wings. Low-scoring affair expected.
Espanyol's home H2H dominance (51-22 at RCDE) and Bilbao's away struggles tip balance narrowly to hosts despite even recent models.
