La Liga Matchday 17 Betting Preview & Best Bets: Getafe vs. Espanyol
Let’s take a closer look at a couple of spots I’m dialed in on for this week.
Getafe vs. Espanyol
When Getafe hosts Espanyol on Sunday at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, they will be looking to end their two-game losing run. On Sunday, Quique Sanchez Flores’ team lost 3-2 at Levante to lose the Copa del Rey, just after losing 2-1 away at Sevilla in La Liga.
However, the Madrid-based team did triumph in their most recent home match, defeating Mallorca 2-0 behind a brace from Borja Mayoral.
In contrast, Espanyol has a reputation for securing draws, having done so in five of their last six matches. Currently #19 on the table and facing relegation, Espanyol needs to pick up wins in a bad way, which they haven’t done since October 16th of last year.
With the fresher legs, I have this game more at a coin flip and like the value Espanyol currently provides.
Pick: Espanyol (+205)
