Tobias Gourlay's hoping to see goals beneath the Friday night lights of La Liga

  • Almeria have scored in 7/9 home games

  • Espanyol have found the net on 8/9 away trips

  • Back Both Teams To Score at around even money


Almeria v Espanyol
Friday 20:00 (Live on LaLigaTV)

In Portugal last night, Benfica beat Pacos 2-0 to give us a half-win on the handicap. We'll take it, though it felt like it could've been so much more when the visitors were two up after just 11 minutes.

We've crossed the border and come to Spain today for the Friday-night La Liga game between 14th-placed Almeria and 13th-placed Espanyol. The hosts are slight favourites but we like the price on both teams to get on the score-sheet.

At one end of the pitch, Almeria have conceded on 8/9 Liga appearances at Power Horse Stadium since returning to the top flight last summer. Meanwhile, Espanyol are a robust W2-D5-L2 on the road, having found the back of the net on 8/9 road trips so far.

At the other end, Almeria have scored themselves in 7/9 - only top-eight sides Sociedad and Osasuna have stopped them. Espanyol have conceded in 8/9 on the road. With BTTS landing in 6/9 at the Power Horse and also in 7/9 Espanyol away days, we'll take it to come home again tonight at around even money.
