Espanyol - Real Sociedad betting tips and odds

Though the match can honestly go either way, Espanyol will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 3.50 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.35.

Espanyol gave their fans a reason to worry during the half-time break of their previous home game against Osasuna . They managed to scrape together a 1:1 draw, however, which was a reasonable result considering their opposition.

Real Sociedad’s last home match against Real Valladolid was indecisive during the first 45 minutes and this was a surprise in its own - knowing that Real Sociedad were hard favourites to win. However, imagine the surprise when they ended conceding a goal that made all the difference in the second half, which led to a 0:1 home loss.

Sociedad are here after a set of rather low-scoring events. The past two matches both ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals betting market and this is something to be taken into consideration ahead of this fixture.

The $ODDS odds do not exactly favour the home team ahead of their meeting with Real Sociedad. Such a thing is hardly a surprise knowing that Espanyol are currently three places out of the relegation zone with 21 next to their name after 21 rounds.

Just 14 points behind the table leaders, Sociedad have lofty ambitions after the excellent early season they just had. They’ll still have to fight hard to win some points this Monday, though, as they’re still not considered favourites.

We already saw these two teams clash earlier in the season with Sociedad winning a solid home win. They’re on foreign grounds this time, but that shouldn’t hinder them too much – most bookmakers online still consider them to be the favourites.

Sociedad’s position as favourites is hard to question, but their roster has been battered by a string of injuries. They’ll have to make do without Gorosabel, Jon Pacheco, Mikel Merino, Guevara, David Silva, Martín Merquelanz, Alex Sola, Umar Sadiq, which will make things considerably more difficult than they would have been otherwise.

In terms of betting value, and Away Win wager is the best option. The 2.40 odds are bound to give strong returns, though the wager is not without its risks.
