Espanyol vs Wolves Prediction & Betting tips
Wolverhampton Wanderers swept the floor with Espanyol last week. Due to the 4-0 win that was booked at Molineux, this diptych is as good as decided.
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
The British subtopper delivered an excellent match in their own stadium last week. The Wolves used their chances carefully, resulting in a big 4-0 win. The Portuguese Diogo Jota was worth gold for the English with a hat trick. His countryman Ruben Neves, however, provided the sporting highlight of the evening with a nice, striking distance. “We played well and were clinically in front of the goal,” said trainer Nuno Espirito Santo after his team’s successful European Cup evening.
“It’s a great result; a few goals and we kept the zero, “Diogo Jota said in turn. “It is up to us to finish it in the return.” Nuno Santo could choose to give some players a rest before the return match. Coming weekend, the important game against Tottenham Hotspur is scheduled in the Premier League. Even with a mix of basic and substitute players, it must be possible to secure qualification for the eighth finals on Thursday.
Espanyol:
At Espanyol, the Europa League is clearly not a priority at the moment, certainly not after the extensive defeat that was suffered at Molineux a week ago. Trainer Abelardo chose a few changes to his starting eleven in Wolverhampton. This did not work out well, although the 4-0 was perhaps somewhat flattering. The fact that European football is currently a side issue is due to the difficult position of Los Pericos in its own competition.
In this the second club of Barcelona is still fighting against relegation. Last weekend things went wrong again in La Liga for Espanyol, visiting Real Valladolid. Due to an early red card for midfielder David Lopez, the blue and white played very long with ten against eleven. It was found that it was not able to cope with Valladolid (2-1). Espanyol is currently at the very bottom of the Spanish rankings. The question is whether Abelardo will give all his basic players a rest on Thursday, or whether some permanent forces may start.
