Espanyol vs Villarreal Betting Analysis<\/h3>\n

Two teams who have struggled for consistency over recent games clash in the midweek as Villarreal travels over to Barcelona to take on Espanyol in Spanish La Liga action on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Villarreal has lost back-to-back games heading into Wednesday\u2019s matchup against Ath. Bilbao and Mallorca, and manager Quique Setien will no doubt look for a big response from his team in this one.<\/p>\n

Espanyol is winless in their last four matches, but have managed to grind out three straight draws over that run. However, with just one point separating them from relegation this year, they need to start converting those draws into wins.<\/p>\n

Villarreal smashed Espanyol 5-1 in their last meeting back in February, but prior to that, had only won one of the last nine meetings with Espanyol.<\/p>\n

Villarreal\u2019s Road Struggles Continue<\/h3>\n

Since back-to-back road wins at the start of the season for Villarreal, including an excellent 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, the \u2018Yellow Submarine\u2019 has really come off the boil during recent away trips.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been six straight road games now without a win for Quique Setien\u2019s side and alarmingly, no goals scored over that run as well.<\/p>\n

Espanyol Continues To Show A Ton Of Grit This Season<\/h3>\n

While the Parakeets haven\u2019t always shown the best beginnings in games this year, conceding the opening goal in ten of their 13 matches this season (the highest number out of any team in La Liga), they have shown a remarkable ability to fight back from those situations.<\/p>\n

Their last four draws from those down-early scenarios where they got the equalizer, all came within just 25 minutes of that initial goal. So while manager Diego Martinez would no doubt prefer that Espanyol not fall behind in games at all, this team has nonetheless shown a ton of heart in order to bounce back from those spots.<\/p>\n

Espanyol vs Villarreal Prediction<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re siding with Espanyol in this one catching a quarter-goal headstart here at home on Wednesday to get a result against Villarreal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the strong recent head-to-head form between the two or Villarreal\u2019s recent poor away form that has us on the underdog in this one, although those certainly help. We are more focused on the recent data from both teams.<\/p>\n

Defensively, Espanyol has been far better than Villarreal on both home\/road split form this season and recency bias also, and we expect that to show here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Take the home side in this one, Espanyol +0.25 on the Asian handicap<\/strong> as your play for Wednesday. For more free soccer picks<\/a>, check out WagerTalk’s free picks page.<\/p>\n\n\n
