Expert Betting Tips
Both teams are really up for it – the Basques are doing everything they can to stay in the Champions League zone and not let Villarreal get close. Espanyol has escaped the relegation zone, but only just, and they're only one point ahead of Valencia, who are among the three worst. We're expecting a hard-fought match where the favorite won't be easy to beat. We're not expecting a lot of goals, but we think the teams can easily exchange goals, so we'll place our first bet on Espanyol. We won't be surprised if the next match ends in a draw, maybe 1:1.
