Espanyol Double Chance
Villarreal have lost four and drawn two of their last six away assignments in La Liga and while many of those fixtures were tough contests to navigate, the trend was no less worrying for the Yellow Submarine. Espanyol will be aiming to take advantage of their visitor’s travel sickness and having gone three matches unbeaten at the RCDE stadium, they will fancy their chances of taking something from the game. Espanyol have lost just one of their last three encounters with Villarreal and they are worth a punt in the double chance market again here.
Both Teams to Score – No
Villarreal’s malaise on the road has followed them since August and alongside failing to win any of their six away fixtures since then, the Yellow Submarine failed to register even a single goal. Having gone 540 minutes without an away goal, there will be nervousness in the Villarreal frontline again on Wednesday and bettors could find joy backing both teams not to score at the RCDE stadium as a result. That bet landed in each of the last two meetings between the sides in Espanyol and history could repeat itself again this week.
