Getafe - Espanyol betting tips and odds

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Getafe 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 Espanyol.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of Getafe and the fact that Espanyol are given 3.25 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

When we talk about Getafe’s previous La Liga result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 5.25 underdogs last time out and a narrow Sevilla HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

Espanyol narrowly avoided a home defeat in the previous round of La Liga. Playing against Girona, they were behind at half-time but managed to catch up. The 2:2 result is no cause for celebration, though, given the favourable matchup and home-field advantage.

The form Getafe displayed so far was quite worrying for their supporters, but at least they managed to stay out of the relegation zone. They’ll need to fight hard to move up on the table, and this matchup does not really favour them.

Although a good chunk of the season is still ahead of us, Espanyol’s confidence has been shaken by the 17 games they played so far. Placed at number 19th in the standings, they’ll need to give their all to move out of the relegation zone. To make matters worse, most predictions agree that their chances of earning some points this Sunday are quite slim.

Although a home win is priced at 2.60, you should consider the previous season’s record before placing any bets. Espanyol won a match last year with a considerable goal difference, so the situation is not as clear-cut as it might seem.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Betsson priced at 1.48 odds.
