Real Sociedad - Espanyol predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.61 is a solid option. That said, Espanyol may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

Considering what they’re up against, Espanyol can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 6.50 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Real Sociedad intend to bounce back from their last round’s Osasuna defeat. They went behind in the first half and never got a proper chance to turn the game around. In the end, a one-goal margin loss is something they need to bounce back from as soon as possible.

The first half of Espanyol’s latest La Liga match against Real Madrid ended inconclusively, which was a surprise in its own right considering how heavily the odds seemed to be in Real Madrid’s favour. Against all odds, Espanyol went on to register a shocking 1:0 victory.

Experts have pointed at La Real’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 La Liga games.

La Real are 4 points behind Europa League spots. Though the season is far from over, they will still need to dig deep to improve their standings. Thankfully, they have a decent shot at earning 3 more points in round 23.

With just 2 points between them and the relegation zone, Espanyol can’t be too comfortable heading into this unfavourable matchup. Thankfully, a good chunk of the season is still ahead of them.

Team from San Sebastian already won against Espanyol this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.67. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
