Both Teams Not To Score
The odds for both teams not scoring stand at 53.60, indicating that bookmakers anticipate a tight game with limited goal-scoring opportunities. Given the defensive trends and average goals conceded by both sides (1.41 for Espanyol and 1.61 for Rayo), this bet appears viable.
Home Team To Win
