Espanyol - Sevilla predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.10, the bookies made it clear that Espanyol are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.89 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Espanyol failed to meet expectations against Villarreal in the last round. While the match-up was somewhat tough for them, the fact that they played as hosts made people believe they would have a better result than 0:2.

Sevilla went into their previous match against Osasuna with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 1:0 home win.

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against Espanyol.

The home team managed to win 18 points so far and climb up to be number 6th in the standings. The battle is fat from over, though – winning against Sevilla will not be easy, and most of the season is yet to be played.

Sevilla are 1 point behind a Europa League qualifying spot. It’s too early to make any strong claims about their form this year, but most bookies are sceptical about their chances at Espanyol. They’ll need to work hard if they want to end the season on a high note.

Even though Espanyol are the favourites to win this showdown, they’ve been known to have issues fighting Sevilla in the past. For instance, they lost this matchup quite badly last season.

This Monday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Monday.
