Spanish La Liga TIPS-Sevilla VS RCD Espanyol

 

Now that things are safe from the threat of relegation, the home side will likely be aiming for next week's Europa League semi-final against Juventus. Of course, Head Coach Mendilibar will be keen to avoid back-to-back defeats ahead of such an important clash, but one can't help but feel that a greater level of urgency for Espanyol could give them an advantage in this game.

 

However, the visitors have had to overcome a dismal away record, which has seen them lose each of their last five away fixtures. Espanyol have been consistent in the goals market, with ten of their last 11 La Liga away games, including each of the last five.

 

With Sevilla scoring over 2.5 goals in four of their last five home league outings, it is confident that the result can happen once again with almost even money odds.

Spanish La Liga - Mallorca vs RCD Espanyol

 

 

Analysis:

Son Moix will hold a game between Mallorca and RCD Espanyol on Friday.

 

Mallorca

Javier Aguirre's next task is to strengthen the team's offense because their defense is good enough, giving up 1.09 goals on average. They have scored nine goals so far. The main reason they only place 12th at the table is because of this.

 

RCD Espanyol

They do not perform well this season, getting 2W-4D-5L. Both of the victories finished with a one-goal lead. Jose Luis Sanmartin Mat has surprised everyone by scoring 7 goals for the team this season. He deserves our attention.

 

Conclusion

After recently defeating Valencia 1-2, Mallorca have now started winning again. Espanyol, on the other hand, are having a winless record. Additionally, Mallorca have the home advantage. Thus the victory is tending to the host.

 

Pick: 1

Spanish La Liga Game Preview -- Alaves vs RCD Espanyol

 

 

Pick:1x2   Alaves  @2.05

 

Analysis:

On Wednesday, Alaves will face Espanyol in an attempt to keep their slender survival hopes alive.

 

Alaves

Alaves went to Celta Vigo over the weekend and came away empty-handed, losing 4-0. The team have had a particularly difficult season for finishing in the relegation zone with only five victories and 22 points from 31 league appearances. They are now bottom of La Liga, six points away of safety, with only three games remaining.

 

RCD Espanyol

Nico Melamed's second-half equalizer earned Espanyol a 1-1 draw against Osasuna. Espanyol has likewise been far better at home than on the road this season, winning just one of their 17 league games away from home. The 14th-placed team do have the advantage of an eight-point lead over the relegation zone, and a win on Wednesday will ensure their top-flight position for next season.

 

Prediction

This game is far more important for Alaves, and we anticipate them to take advantage of their home court and score a crucial three-pointer, putting them in contention to escape relegation to the Segunda Division next season.
