Prediction: 1-1
Espanyol
Monday’s clash between Lugo and Espanyol will bring down the curtain on La Liga 2 Matchday 24. Lugo aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Leganes, but bookies see them as underdogs in the game against the promotion-chasing side. However, Mehdi Nafti’s men are tough to beat at home, with the suffering only two defeats in the process at Estadio Anxo Carro. A man to watch in the home team will be Barreiro, who scored a brace in the defeat to Leganes.
Los Periquitos, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano, with the team dropping to second position in the standings. Espanyol are eager to overtake los Bermellones in the first place, but beating Lugo on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the cards at Estadio Anxo Carro, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw.
