What is the Bet of the Day?

The bet of the day is either a single, double, triple or accumulator that our expert has selected, based on a number of factors including form and statistics.

How do we select our bet of the day?

Finding the best value bet out there can be tricky given the vast amount of matches and markets available, thus we assess all of these and sort through to find the best bet with the strongest value.

What do we keep an eye out for in our bet of the day?

The most important thing we look out for is the value that each bet provides. We are looking for bets that not only have a good chance of coming in, but also picks that hold great value.

What are the odds of the bet of the day?

We never choose a specific price for our bet of the day, but in general, we attempt to choose those bets that are around a price of evens (1/1 or 2.0) and above.

La Liga’s bottom club to fall to another defeat

It has been a winless start to 2026 for Espanyol, but they are still in serious European competition. They were leading going into the 90th minute at Elche last time out before being pegged back for a 2-2 draw. That was their sixth consecutive match to feature three or more goals.

This fixture offers the Catalan club a great chance to get back to winning ways. Oviedo have lost 69% of their away games on their return to La Liga. Recent performances have been slightly better, but last week’s 3-0 defeat at Rayo Vallecano offered little encouragement.

Despite some previous competitive displays, that was their fifth loss in seven encounters. They conceded three goals in four of those games.

With more quality across the pitch, Espanyol are well-positioned to get back on track in a relatively high-scoring clash.
