Espanyol vs Real Betis Preview

Epsanyol have been impressive this season after their midtable finish last season.

With Gerard Moreno as their target man and the duo of Pablo Piatti and Leo Baptistao providing support from the flanks, they have succeeded in scoring as well as entertaining spectators this season.

They are a strong side at home as they have managed at least 1.5 goals in their home games this season.

With Real Betis always eager to attack and leaving spaces behind, we expect them to score at least one goal here.

Espanyol have 3 wins from 4 meetings between these sides.

Visiting Betis are one of the most attacking teams in La Liga this season as their new manager has successfully transformed the team with his approach to the game.

This game looks likely to be a very open game.

With this likes of Antonio Sanabria and Joel Campbell almost unstoppable when they hit top gear, Betis will surely be a handful for their host in this game.

Sanabria has scored 7 goals in his last 7 games and he will look to continue that form here.
