Match Prediction: Espanyol vs. Sevilla
Espanyol may not be among the most exciting teams in La Liga, but that doesn't mean their matches can't entertain with goals. At least 2 goals have been scored in 7 of the last 9 league games involving the Catalans. When considering only their home matches, fewer than 2 goals have been seen in just 2 of their last 10 La Liga fixtures.
Sevilla rarely struggles with spectacle. In 14 of their last league matches, the 2-goal mark has been surpassed 12 times. Moreover, 7 of Matias Almeida's last 9 La Liga games have been high-scoring, as have 6 of Sevilla's last 8 away matches in this tournament.
Prediction – Total over 2
