Espanyol Athletic Club betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two teams that remain separated by only one point in the Spanish league and, for this reason this match should be balanced and with few opportunities for both sides. When playing at home, Espanyol usually creates several difficulties for the opponents, however, the finishing is not usually their strength. On the other hand, the visiting team comes motivated for this match and the goal of the match is to continue to score, that is, they shouldn’t expose their block too much. So, and taking into account these factors, betting in favor of a match with few goals is a good option.
