Espanyol vs Mirandes Prediction & Betting Tips (17 February)

Espanyol Barcelona saw Eibar take 2nd place and relegate the Catalan club now 4 points from this 2nd place offering a direct ticket to La Liga. The current 5th in this Liga 2 must resume its march forward and launch a series after 2 defeats suffered during the last 3 days at Eldense 3-2 and at Santander 2-0 last weekend. The Spanish will return to their stadium where they have just taken 14 points out of 18 distributed during the last 6 receptions. Martin Braithwaite's teammates 14 goals have won their last 2 receptions against Villarreal B 2-1 then before Levante 2-1 and are aiming for the pass of 3 against Mirandes who only has 2 successes in 13 trips in the league.

Mirandes is in the second half of the standings in 14th place with a narrow lead of 5 points over the relegation zone. Lisci players have only won 1 match against Villarreal B 3-0 in their last 6 matches and remain on 1 defeat in Cartagena 1-0 a few days ago. Mirandes is on a long current streak of 8 trips without a win, 5 draws and 3 defeats, Championship and Copa del Rey included. A 9th trip without a victory for Mirandes?

It has been quite unusual to see both teams on target in recent Espanyol home matches, with this being the case in just six of their previous 19 games in the league. What’s more, Mirandes have either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in each of their last four away matches at this level, so it would come as a surprise were the net to bulge at both ends here.
