La Liga Best Bets
There are a couple of La Liga matches on Monday evening, and the Sociedad v Espanol stands out as offering a couple of potential bets. We've kept our powder pretty dry over the weekend, but it's time to get involved again.
Four wins from their opening eight matches sees Sociedad sitting in 8th place in La Liga on 13 points, plus they have scored 11 in three Europa League matches which has to help the confidence within the camp. Strikers Mikel Oyarzabal and William Jose are both in great form as well, so you always expect goals to flow this season for Real.
Espanol look decent pickings therefore - a side with just two wins on the board so far and also a solitary goal from four away games this campaign, while they have failed to score in their last two games.
We'll take Sociedad to win at a shade of odds-on once all the columns are totted up, but we'll also take an interest in the U/O Goals markets.
While only three of Espanol's 2017/18 matches have gone over 2.5 goals, two of those saw five goals, and Sociedad promise just as much excitement for their opponents when defending as they do when attacking themselves. In 11 matches this season, 10 have gone "Over 2.5", 8 have gone "Over 3.5" and five "Over 4.5". With all this in mind, we're going to split the stakes and see where we end up!
1pt Sociedad to beat Espanol at 5/6 (General)
2pts Over 2.5 Goals at 4/5 (General)
1pt Over 3.5 Goals at 2/1 (Will Hill)
1pt Over 4.5 Goals at 5/1 (Will Hill)
