This game puts extremely offensive teams face to face and for this reason this match has all the conditions to be open and with several chances of goals. On the one hand, Espanyol acts with the support of its fans and needs to add up the three points, on the other, a Bilbao that aspires to return to the tracks of victories. Having said that and taking into account all these factors, we believe that they can score goals and provide moments of great spectacle.
