Competition: La Liga

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ 888sport

Looking to find a much-needed boost on their travels in midweek, Espanyol will make the trip to Alaves on Wednesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, slumping back to losing ways with a nightmare display a few days ago, Alaves will know that their relegation status could be confirmed here. In their 35 La Liga matchups this season, they have recorded just seven wins, seven draws and 21 defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 60 in return. Likewise, managing to muster a points tally of 28, they open the midweek fixtures sat rock-bottom of the La Liga table and six points adrift of safety. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 4-0 drumming away at Celta Vigo, Alaves have lost seven of their last nine domestic contests. It should also be noted, Wednesday’s hosts have seen six of their previous eight matchups finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Espanyol might have managed to pick up a point over the weekend, that doesn’t cover what has been an extended blip. In their 35 La Liga matchups this season, they have recorded 10 wins, 10 draws and 15 defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 50 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 40, they open the midweek fixtures sat 13th in the standings and four points adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Osasuna on home soil, that is the only point that Espanyol have collected from their last four La Liga contests. Likewise, it should be noted, with Wednesday’s guests seeing 12 of their previous 13 away fixtures across all formats finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
