Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's fairly unlikely that this match will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Espanyol and Valencia have seldom treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in La Liga individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.29.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Espanyol are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 49% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.62.
