Our pick
Espanyol Barcelona are clear favourites and should be backed to win this match. Elche CF are bottom of LaLiga with no wins from six games and have lost all three matches away from home this season. Espanyol's patchy home form — one draw and one loss from their last two — is still far superior to what Elche are offering. The visitors have conceded 16 goals in 6 matches and have nothing in their favour heading to the RCDE Stadium. Espanyol at 1.83 odds represents fair value.
