Real Betis Espanyol betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 13^th position of the league, with 35 points won, after 8 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Levante, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Real Sociedad, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 10 points in away matches and 25 at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 13 conceded at home, against 11 goals scored and 21 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Espanyol has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 13 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Espanyol has been campaigning lower than expected in La Liga, it is in the bottom half of the qualifying table, but goes through a good moment with 7 games without losing, although 5 of those matches have been drawn. The team has a low-quality attack that has scored 26 goals and is the seventh worst of the competition, while the defense, in turn, has suffered 34 goals and is the eighth least leaked, needing to improve mainly in the offensive system to score goals more regularly. Playing away from home, such as this Saturday's match, Espanyol have the fifth worst campaign of the Spanish league, comes from 3 draws in a row and it is worth mentioning that it scored only 11 goals in its 13 away games. For the match against Betis, coach Quique Sanchez Flores will not be able to rely on midfielder David Lopez on account of injury and should repeat the other 10 holders of the last round where he conquered a good victory against Real Sociedad.

Confirmed Lineup: Pau López, Marc Navarro, Aarón Martín, David López, Óscar Duarte, Víctor Sánchez, Granero, Carlos Sánchez, Pablo Piatti, Gerard Moreno, Léo Baptistão.
Coach: L. Ramis Monfort.
