Monday night football in La Liga, Espanyol hosting Elche in the last match of the 29th round.
Espanyol has not got much left to fight for … they will finish mid table … the lack of objectives could be seen in the last four games. Espanyol did not win any of them (2 draws, 2 losses) and even worse, did not score a single goal. Stuani and Caicedo have been totally useless up front so Garcia should get the not in front of one of these two today. Hosts have the quality, it’s all about focus and motivation. Espanyol gets some players back from injuries and only has Gonzalez unavailable.
Espanyol lineup: Casilla – Arbilla, Colotto, Moreno, Duarte – Vazquez, Lopez, Abraham, Sanchez – Garcia, Stuani

Elche is only two points above the relegation zone and they enter this match with great motivation, any point would be gold for them. Visitors have lost the last two matches vs Valencia and Sevilla with a 0-7 goal aggregate … but they proved they can play vs inferior teams before that, beating Almeria 1-0 three rounds ago. Still, the football showed by Elche in 2015 is dreadful and they need to climb to a different level if they want to avoid relegation. Aaron and Cisma are questionable, Pelegrin is definitely unavailable.
Elche lineup: Tyton – Suarez, Lomban, Roco, Cisma – Adrian, Pasalic – Rodrigues, Fajr, Rodriguez – Jonathas
Espanyol Barcelona should not be priced over 1.55 – 1.60 in this match. The odds are so high because of the poor form of the hosts and the difference in motivation … but Espanyol does not want to prolong this winless run, they will come in today looking for a convincing win in front of their own fans … and they will probably get it against a side that showed horrible football in the last two rounds. Espanyol is simply much better and will be motivated to finally get back to winning ways, so my tip will be Espanyol to win … and I think it will be rather straightforward. Correct score prediction: Espanyol Barcelona – Elche 2-0.
