Espanyol Betting News
The club have lost three of their last four with their only win in that run coming in a 2-0 away win over Malaga. Sergio’s side are currently 9th in the table, some 15 points off 6th place Villarreal. A more realistic target is 8th place, with Celta Vigo just two points ahead of them in the standings. With no major suspensions or injury worries going into the game, Sergio will be confident especially as 21 of their 29 points have come at home. The club have won 6 and drawn 3 of their 12 home games, keeping 5 clean sheets in the process. Last time out at home they lost 2-1 to Valencia however prior to that they had beaten both Celta Vigo and Almeria, scoring four and conceding none.
Cordoba Betting News
The league’s bottom club have lost each of their last five games and have not won since they beat Rayo Vallecano on the 12th January. Their disastrous run of form has left them five points from safety and with the second worst forward line and the fourth worst defense, their inability to turn draws (9) into wins (just 3 all season) has proved costly. The club will be without the suspended Patrick Ekeng on Friday while Iago Bouzon is also out.
