Both teams, are struggling for form, while Espanyol in particular are struggling for goals.
The Catalans are the second lowest scorers in the divison with just 20 goals in 22 games, although they have managed to score in every home game this season except the visits of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
La Real meanwhile have not won away from home since October and have been conceding too many themselves, letting in 15 goals in their last five matches on the road.
Neither side will be playing with much confidence and on a chilly Monday night, in what is likely to be a poorly attended stadium, we should not expect too much of a spectacle but this could open up a betting opportunity.
(No clean sheet - Espanyol)
should stand a good chance since the change of
Managers at Real Sociedad. When Moyes was in
charge, Real Sociedad only managed to score in 5
of their 11 league games, however now that
Sacristan is manager and playing a more attacking
style of football, they have scored in 9 of their last
11 league games, and one of the games where they
didn’t score was away to Barca, where not many
teams manage a goal. Espanyol have been pretty
strong at home this season, however they are going
through a fairly bad run of form at the moment, with
2 draws and 6 losses from their last 8 games in all
competitions. So with their confidence most likely
on the low side, there should be a good chance that
Real Sociedad can score a goal tonight despite
being away from home.
Hii niliwekelea O2.5 kwa multibet; whereby it has been rated as unlikely anyway…but si wafungaji wako uwanjani? Goalkeeper anaeza amua kutoa lock kabla ya game…
