Espanyol Villarreal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Looking at the current moment of these clubs it is possible to notice that the visitors have an advantage, that is, they must dominate and enjoy the best chances to make goals. On the other hand, Espanyol should arrive to the field with their eyes on the victory, looking for the goal through counterattacks through the corridors, a transition in which they are very competent. Note that both clubs need to add points, most urgently, the local team. That said and in view of these factors, we believe there are goals in this match between Espanyol and Villarreal.
