Competition: La Liga

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 2/3 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could see chances at both ends of the pitch this weekend, Espanyol will host Real Betis on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, having to settle for an action-packed point last time out, Espanyol are trying to find some stability since opening the New Year. In their 21 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, six draws and eight defeats, scoring 25 and conceding 26 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 27, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 11th in the table and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 2-2 draw against Cadiz on the road, Espanyol have managed to win just a pair of their last six matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Friday’s hosts have remarkably seen each of their last six fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, putting in another hugely impressive display last time out, Real Betis are enjoying what has become a real purple patch. In their 21 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, four draws and six defeats, scoring 37 and conceeding 24 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 37, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table and holding a four-point buffer from dropping out of the Champions League places. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a thumping 4-0 win against Alaves on home soil, Real Betis are unbeaten in their last four matchups, recording three wins. Likewise, it should be noted, with Friday’s guests seeing four of their last five away fixtures finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
