Cristiano Ronaldo Big Favourite to Score vs. Espanyol
- By A.J. Ryder on September 21, 2010 19:25 GMTThe talisman of Jose Mourinho’s star-studded side of footballers is expected to outdo expectations and dominate Madrid’ fixture against Espanyol today in La Liga action.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the big favourite to score at any point in the match and you reckon that a fair amount of punters will be having a go on the Portuguese sensation.
The outright odds are heavily-skewed in favour of Madrid and you can back them at a slim 1.17 price while Espanyol are available at 17.0. The draw can be had at a 7.0 price tag.
Sergio Canales and Angel Di Maria are both trading at 8.0 while Xabi Alonso can be backed at 13.0.
For Espanyol, they will likely be looking to Sergio Garcia at 15.0 to score first and either Jose Callejon or Luis Garcia at 17.0.
Real Madrid to not score a single goal is trading at 10.0 while they are 4.25 to get exactly one and 3.5 to get exactly two. Three goals or more is trading at even money. Espanyol are odds-on to be shut out with a 1.73 payout available on them to not score.
The bookmakers seem to favour about three goals here with the 2.5 over/under listing the under at 2.5 and the over at 1.53. An over/under of 3.5 shows the over at 2.3 and the under at 1.56.
You’ll have to back Real Madrid on a (-2.0) handicap is you are looking for a payout above even-money. You can back them (-2.0) at a 2.38 price while Espanyol (+2.0) is trading at 2.25.
