Espanyol - Atlético Madrid betting tips and odds

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Espanyol will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Atlético Madrid.

Atletico will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Espanyol are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

Espanyol went into their previous La Liga match as clear underdogs playing as visitors against Rayo Vallecano . The draw during half-time was surprising enough – but no-one saw their narrow 1:2 victory coming.

Meeting Atletico in their home turf cannot be easy. Last round, they walked away with a convincing 3:0 victory against Osasuna and three additional points on the scoreboard. With the odds of 1.48 the victory came as no surprise and they will likely show the same form as visitors.

Atletico and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 La Liga matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

Having lost too many matches in the La Liga this season, Espanyol occupy the 19th place in the standings. The negative record is likely to continue this Wednesday as they welcome Atletico Madrid as huge underdogs.

Atletico will likely be moving on to the Champions League, but the title eludes them. They’re number 3rd in the standings with 16 points needed to take the lead. Espanyol are not an easy match to earn those, though.

Despite being favourites, Atletico couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Espanyol. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Jan Oblak, Stefan Savić, Thomas Lemar, Llorente, Reinildo, Memphis Depay will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 1 odds offered at 10Bet are great for value, too.
