Espanyol - Real Betis predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Espanyol on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Espanyol on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

When it comes to Espanyol’s previous La Liga clash, the betting odds widely got it right. It was a tight game between two similar teams and an HT/FT Girona draw clearly shows it.

With 5.34 odds to win and home-field advantage, Real Betis were clearly likely to win their previous La Liga match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 2:0.

Whenever met on their home pitch, the hosts tend to perform at a high level. They scored more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games alone, marking this match as interesting for BTTS and Over 5 Goals markets.

Los Verdiblancos 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.

Espanyol are off to a very strong start to the season, being just $7 points behind the best-placed team in the league. Still, the road ahead is long and difficult, and it will take a lot more work to get them to the Champions League.

As one of the current table leaders, the away team can feel confident despite playing without home-field advantage. That said, bookmakers agree that the upcoming match will be quite the struggle, so maintaining their position is their current priority.

A Double Chance wager on Home or Draw is probably the smartest way of going about things in this particular matchup. It’s still somewhat risky but should provide enough value at the odds of 1.
