Espanyol - Real Betis betting tips and odds

Espanyol will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Real Betis don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.95 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Espanyol on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Having gone level after the first 45 minutes of their last La Liga match, Espanyol pushed their game up a notch after the break and managed to get a hold of a Getafe victory which will be a huge boost for the Saturday clash.

Real Betis must be feeling fairly confident after their performance in their latest La Liga game. They were the away team in a very tough matchup against Rayo Vallecano but managed to grab a lead in the first half and turn it into a narrow, but praiseworthy 1:2 victory.

Espanyol are placed 14th in the standings at the moment, with 1 point separating them from the relegation zone. It’s difficult to make any strong statements at the moment since we’re not even past the mid-season yet.

Just 13 points behind the table leaders, Real Betis have lofty ambitions after the excellent early season they just had. They’ll still have to fight hard to win some points this Saturday, though, as they’re still not considered favourites.

Real Betis are the favourites between these two teams, partly due to the way things ended the last time we saw them clash. In the previous season of the La Liga, Betis got hold of a decisive victory that still marks them as the better team.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.25 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
