This is a Monday night fixture from the Spanish top flight and it could be a game where the away side finds themselves well backed in. Espanyol are struggling just a little bit down in the bottom half of the table with just the one win in their five league games. That could well open the door for Real Betis to strike as they have been challenging well in the top ten of La Liga this term and they are not going to be a pushover out on the road. Espanyol are 5/4 to take the win, with Betis at 12/5.

Espanyol
Real BetisEspanyol Form
Espanyol have collected only the two league wins this season but the positive aspect of that is that they did both happen on home soil. Their overall home form reads W2 D1 L1 for the season and there has been just the one clean sheet for them as well. They have been struggling in front of goal pretty much from the kick off this season with only the eight goals scored in their nine games. They have one goal only in their last three league outings. Only three different players have scored for them in the Spanish top flight this season.
Real Betis Form
Betis were a bit of a lost cause out on the road last season, but they are well worth a flutter in this one. They started the season with back to back away defeats, but those were at strong opposition in Barcelona and Villarreal. Since then they have taken a 1-0 win at the Bernabeu over Real Madrid and then they played out a crazy 4-4 draw with Real Sociedad in their most recent away game. They have produced thirteen goals in their last four league games and that would suggest that they can get the better of Espanyol who have rarely threatened in front of goal this term.
Head to Head News
Espanyol took a win in both league meetings between these two clubs in La Liga last term, both victories coming by a one-goal margin. Betis have won just one of the last four games in the top flight against Espanyol now and both teams have scored in just two of the last eight meetings.
Top Betting Tips
Real Betis has some appeal in this one to claim maximum points. They have shown a bit of quality out on the road this season, notably in the win at Real Madrid and they have averaged over two goals per game in their league campaign so far and Espanyol simply cannot match up to that. Away win.
