Sevilla vs Espanyol: Spanish Championship Match Betting Tip

The upcoming La Liga match between Sevilla and Espanyol is expected to be a tight, low-scoring affair. Both teams have been struggling in attack lately, which reduces the likelihood of a big goal. Sevilla, although higher up the table, rarely scores goals. Six of the team last seven home games in La Liga have seen no more than one goal scored in the second half, indicating a rather restrained attack.

Espanyol, on the other hand, are one of the worst teams in away scoring. They have scored just four goals in nine away games, making their attack one of the most ineffective in the league. Espanyol’s problems in creating chances are further compounded by the absence of key players, which reduces their chances of success in front of goal. Head-to-head meetings between Sevilla and Espanyol also rarely produce many goals. Four of the last six matches between these teams have seen under 2.5 goals. Given the cautious approach of both teams, the problems with converting chances and the importance of points, we can expect a closed football with an emphasis on defense.

Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.99

Bet on the outcome

The La Liga match between Sevilla and Espanyol is important for both teams. Sevilla is motivated to get three points to improve its position in the table and continue the fight for European cups. The team shows decent results in home matches, having won three of the last four games on its home field. In addition, the statistics of head-to-head meetings confirms the advantage of Sevilla - in the last 11 matches against Espanyol, they have not suffered a single defeat.

Espanyol, despite winning the previous round, are experiencing serious difficulties on the road. With one point in nine away matches this season and a weak attacking line, the visitors are unlikely to create serious problems for the hosts. Given the difference in class and Sevilla confident home form, we expect the hosts to win.

Bet on statistics

The match between Sevilla and Espanyol could be one of those where the teams focus on possession and the fight for control in the center of the field. We expect the hosts to dominate, while the visitors will focus on counterattacks. This creates the preconditions for a large number of corner kicks. 

Sevilla consistently earn corners at home, thanks to active flank attacks, while Espanyol often give up the initiative, which leads to frequent ball clearances. Given the playing style of both teams and high motivation, we expect the standard total of corners to be exceeded.

Betting Tip - total corners over 9.5, odds 1.92
