Espanyol Barcelona betting prediction
 Espanyol |
|  Barcelona |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario to this match will be the existence of some goals. Looking to the performance of both teams we believe that Barcelona will control the match and will take advantage from the best opportunities to score. However, even in a bad moment, Espanhol must be able to create some difficulties to the Barcelona's defense.
So, it's expected that the Catalunha match will finish with some goals on the scoreboard.
Preview

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times but have turned the score around in 3.
Barcelona come motivated to this match, not only by the conquer of the World Matches, but also due to the victory in the match against Real Bétis. In this match of Catalunha it's foreseen that the team led by Luis Enrique will choose a medium-high block to get the ball possession in areas closer to the opponent's goal. Furthermore, all the Espanhol faults will be taken for Barcelona to apply their best weapon, the counterattack. The uruguayan Luis Suárez scored, by now, 26 goals. The big news to the visiting team is the return of Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal to the competition, after a long punishment period.
