Sevilla v Espanyol
Thursday 18:30 (Live on LaLigaTV)
In Italy yesterday, Atalanta beat Spezia 3-2 to pay out on our BTTS bet.
We're back to Spain today for the La Liga game between 12th-placed Sevilla and second-bottom Espanyol. Sevilla won the reverse fixture 3-2 earlier this season and we reckon both teams can get on the score sheet in this one too.
Sevilla are favourites, but the Andalusians are on a five-game streak without a clean sheet at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. They've conceded nine times in total across those matches. Jose Luis Mendilibar's men have had fewer problems at the other end, scoring at least twice in 6/7.
Three points short of safety, Espanyol are in trouble. The Parakeets have lost five in a row away from home - despite scoring in all five games. In fact, they have netted in 15/16 on the road this season. BTTS has been the right bet in 13/16 and we're backing it today at close to even money.
