Football – Spain – La Liga Betting Tips
Staying with La Liga and the next preview features a top half clash in the division between fifth placed Espanyol and ninth placed Girona as the betting tips continue on Sunday evening.
Espanyol currently occupy the Europa League spot but all three points on Sunday could theoretically lift them up into the top four and the Champions League positions. Although the hosts lost last time out in a 2-1 defeat away at Sevilla, they had previously put together a six-match unbeaten sequence.
Wins over Eibar, Villarreal, Huesca and Athletic Bilbao along with draws with Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid proves that Espanyol are a hard unit to beat, while their record at home stands at an excellent 5-0-0 8/1 which includes four clean sheets.
Goals are usually hard to come by at the RCDE Stadium as 11 of Espanyol’s last 15 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Girona sit in ninth place and they bring a four match unbeaten run into this encounter along with remaining undefeated on their travels so far this season; recent wins against Rayo Vallecano and Valencia have helped maintain their position in the top half of La Liga.
Girona possess a solid away record that stands at 2-3-0 5/3 which also includes a win at Villarreal as well as points taken off Barcelona, Huesca and Real Sociedad, while also keeping three clean sheets to date on the road.
The visitors possess the best defensive record away from home in the division and are the only team yet to taste defeat on the road this season.
In addition, 9 of their last 15 matches on the road have ended under 2.5, while 4 of their 5 away matches this season have been under 2.5 also.
The betting tips fancy a low scoring affair here.
