Goaloo Preview
In a stretch of 32 head-to-head matches, Espanyol holds the advantage with 38% victories. However, in the first round of the current season, they lost away (0:1). The only goal was scored by Raul Moro in the middle of the first half. There were practically no dangerous moments in the match. Suffice it to say that the total xG was less than one. The meeting, which took place in August, fits well into the trend where opponents have drawn in the second 45 minutes in five consecutive head-to-head matches. Therefore, a bet on – Draw in the 2nd half looks quite profitable.

Goaloo Prediction
The favorite for the upcoming match is Espanyol, which can be considered a home team. They have earned 15 out of 16 points at “RCDE” Stadium. However, they haven't won for a long time, and Valladolid has improved recently and even moved off the bottom spot. In such a game, it is important for each team not to lose. Therefore, there is a high probability of a draw, which has been recorded in 34% of head-to-head meetings. In this situation, note the potential exact score of 1:1.

However, two goals are the maximum that can be expected from teams fighting for survival. They approach this head-to-head meeting with trends indicating that it is unlikely either side will score more than once. Therefore, as a key bet, we suggest total goals under 2.5, which has played out in six consecutive Espanyol matches.

Pick: Total goals Under(2.5)
