Espanyol v Barcelona La Liga Betting Tips

Espanyol are on the outskirts of the European places in La Liga and aren’t likely going to muscle their way in there. They have been in decent shape at home though recently as they have lost just one of their last five there (W4 L1). Earlier this season they suffered a 4-1 defeat at the Nou Camp against Barcelona and they have lost both games against Real Madrid this season while taking one point from their two games against Atletico Madrid. So they have struggled against the top side and they aren’t a particularly high scoring side at all. Actually, they are the lowest scoring side in the La Liga’s top ten as it stands. Still, you would have to expect this game to go over 2.5 goals however each of the last four at Espanyol between these have gone under the goal line. Under 2.5 goals is a 21/10 option on this one at Coral. Espanyol have failed to score in any of their last four home games against Barcelona (D1 L3). Barcelona to win to nil at Coral is a quote of 20/21 and could be worth a flutter.

This is all about Barcelona and whether or not they can just keep winning. They built on that success out at Real Madrid last weekend by hammering seven goals past Osasuna in midweek with Lionel Messi among the goals again. Messi is 9/4 Coral First Goalscorer favourite for this one with Luis Suarez at 10/3, the same quote as Paco Alcacer. Neymar is still suspended. Barcelona have only gone W2 L2 in their last four away games in La Liga, but with their recent win at the Bernabeu, you would have to imagine that they will be switched on for this one. Up in the Coral correct score market, a Barcelona 2-0 result is a 6/1 price and that has been the score in two of their last three trips to Espanyol. At this point of the season, that will do. There’s no margin for error from Barcelona now until the end of the season. Overall this season away from home they have posted a W11 D3 L3 record.

Barcelona Away Win: The odds are crazy at the moment for Barcelona, and this is a mid-table side they are playing away at. Still, you would have to roll with them taking a win in this one and they have won three of their last four at Espanyol, each to nil as well. Barca to win to nil and under 2.5 goals.
