Villarreal and RCD Espanyol will meet at El Madrigal in this round of La Liga.
Villarreal
Villarreal ended last round against Juventus with a 1-1 draw, and they got 3 wins and 2 draws in last 5 matches. The two opponents in the draw results are Real Madrid and Juventus, which shows that their overall state is still good. Although Villarreal is only ranked 6th on League table, they are only 3 points away from the 4th place, so of course the team still has a very strong desire to win.
RCD Espanyol
Although RCD Espanyol have suffered winless in 8 consecutive games, they have been able to draw Barcelona and Sevilla in the last two rounds, and it seems that their state has been improved. At present, they still lead the relegation zone teams with a 9-point advantage in the standings. However, their away forms are poor as they only beat Valencia since the League.
Verdict:
Villarreal took upper hand on overall strength. The Asian Handicap first odd of this game is Villarreal-1, tending to the host. So home win will be expected higher in this round.
AH Pick: Villarreal -1
