Competition: Primera Division
Game: Vallecano vs Espanyol
Venue: Estadio de Vallecas
Date: 23/10/2015 @ 7.30pm
VALLECANO
Vallecano is coming from 3 consecutive defeats with an associated 4-10 goals’ aggregate in them, with its last one being from Barcelona with 5-2 away from home. The only positive fact about that game was the 2 goals that Vallecano scored and its striker, Guerra, seems to be in very good form, evident from the fact that he has scored in 4 of his team’s last 5 games.
Vallecano has managed just 1 win in its last 15 games against Espanyol. It has had 5 over 2.5 goals outcomes in 8 games this season conceding at least 3 goals per game in 4 of these games. It is worth mentioning that, together with Espanyol, Vallecano has the worst defensive record in the league; both teams have conceded 17 goals in their 8 so far games this season, averaging more than 2 conceded goals per game in them.
Vallecano will be missing the services of Hernandez who is injured and Amaya who is suspended from this game. Possible line-up in a 4-2-3-1 formation;
Tono, Dorado, Llorente, Ze Castro, Rat, Trashorras, Jozabed, Lass, Ebert, Bebe, Guerra
ESPANYOL
It is interesting to note that Espanyol has had 2 wins and 2 draws both in its 4 so far home games as well as in its 4 so far away games in the league, managing 3 wins in its last 5 games, including 2 away wins against Betis with 1-3 and against Sociedad with 2-3. In its last 5 away visits against Vallecano, Espanyol managed 4 wins and suffered 1 defeat.
Espanyol has had 6 over 2.5 goals games in its 8 so far games in the league and 4 over 2.5 goals games in its 4 so far away games in the league, 3 of which were also goal/goal and over 3.5 goals games. Possible line-up in a 4-2-3-1 formation;
Pau - Arbilla, Gonzalez, Roco, Fuentes - Sanchez, Canas - Perez, Asensio, Alvarez - Caicedo
Prediction
This is certainly going to be an interesting game where Espanyol seems to be the marginal favourite, therefore the 3.40 odd to win this is challenging, or even the 1.72 odd for not losing this game are viable options.
Therefore, 2 viable options for this game are the following:
Bet: goal/goal & over 2.5 goals, odd: 2.10 @ BET365
Bet: 2 & over 2.5 goals, odd: 5.50 @ BET365
