The hosts occupy the eighth place, but the Catalans lost in the last round. Who will get tournament points on September 18? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Espanyol
Current form
Espanyol has won only two out of six matches so far, but that's enough to take eighth place in the Spanish Primera League standings. At the same time, the density in the middle of the table is high, so a defeat can send the hosts closer to the relegation zone. The home match against Levante (3-0) in the first round and the trip to Osasuna (2-0) a week ago turned out to be successful for the Catalans. In the last round, the Parrots failed to score points in an away match with Rayo Vallecano (1:2). In a home match with the main outsider of the championship, there will clearly be more chances to win.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hofre, Garcia and Puado are injured and will miss the match. El-Hilali is disqualified. The exit to the field of the City Council is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team has scored in the last 16 matches
In the last six face-to-face matches, the hosts have never lost
After six rounds, Elche ended up in last place in the Spanish Primera standings. So far, the guests have not won a single game, only two draws - with Deportivo (1:1) in the first round and with Athletic (1:1) last week. The team cannot be blamed for the lack of activity in the attack - in six matches they managed to score eight goals, according to this indicator, the guests can be considered a strong average. But Martin Anselmi's players miss twice as much - together with Racing, Elche is the leader in goals conceded. In the last round, the green and white almost upset Real Madrid. They managed to win back from the score 0:2, scoring two goals in nine minutes, but in stoppage time, Madrid still snatched victory from today's guests.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Santiago remains in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
The team has never won so far this season.
In each of the last four matches, Elche scored at least one goal.
The guests are in last place, but they still play open soccer and score quite often. Against the background of fatigue after the match with Real Madrid, the problems in defense will probably increase, so for sure we will have a productive match. The hosts also don't sit back defensively and score in every match. We think that betting on a high total is fully justified here.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.82
In some periods, Elche shows very good football, but the team is not enough for the whole match, but the difference in class with most competitors in the Example is still affecting. The hosts will obviously be motivated for this match, but Espanyol has only two wins so far, and they want much more. We think that the advantage in class and the support of their stands will allow the favorite to win three points.
Our betting tip is that Espanyol will win in 1.85
Betting on corners
In face-to-face matches, teams rarely serve corners. Only in one of the last three matches was it possible to reach the 10 corner mark. For sure, this time the opponents will not often serve from the corner of the field.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.52
