Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't believe there is a clear favourite to win this match, but what is clear is that the odds suggest it'll have no more than 3 goals. Our statistical analysis is inline with them too. Espanyol and Leganes have served up a host of under 3.5 goal games lately, and key performance statistics point towards an extension of that record. We have confidence in predicting under 3.5 goals on Saturday evening, and the bookmakers have it priced at 1.14.
