Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We're ruling out a bore-draw or a sneaky 1-0 win here, and instead are tipping over 1.5 goals. That means that Espanyol and Real Madrid will score a minimum of two between them during 90 minutes. It's a tip based on the recent form of the respective sides, as well as historical records when they go head-to-head. We give it a probability of 76%. The bookmakers have it priced at 1.14.
