Espanyol v Almería Betting Tips [4 June 2023]

Almeria are fighting for their place in La Liga and they have one last chance, when they travel to Espanyol. While Espanyol have already been relegated, Almeria are a place and a point above the red zone. Hosts Espanyol have avoided defeat in their last three matches but the last two ended in draws. They are coming from a 2-2 outcome away to Valencia. Their only win in five matches was the one away to Rayo Vallecano. Espanyol’s scoring run has been great in the last few matches; they’ve managed more than a goal in the last five. Also, each of their last five matches has produced over 2.5 goals with both sides scoring. Three times in the last five matches, Espanyol have conceded three or more goals.

Almeria go into this game seeking to match or better the result Real Valladolid will have against Getafe. That way, they will survive another season in the topflight, having returned after seven years out. They will need to do much to achieve that though as they’ve failed to win the last two games. Almeria have failed to score in their last two matches, but they have two wins in their last five matches. Joan Rubi’s charges will however go into this game having lost three straight away games. They have managed just one win in 18 away league matches this season. Three of Almeria’s last five away matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The visitors have conceded two or more goals in three of their last five away matches.

Both Almeria and Espanyol are coming from matches that have produced high scores. The two sides rarely fail to score. Going by their numbers, our prediction for Espanyol v Almeria is for the game to have over 2.5 goals scored.
