Espanyol is actively fighting for survival, the team must definitely score points in all the remaining league games.

Considering the motivation of the teams, or rather the lack of it among the guests, I think the "parrots" will score points. The end of the season usually becomes successful for those who need points, and even the giants, having solved their problems, often stumble: Espanyol will not lose - 1X - 1.60.
