It's a late call from me, but I waited with this bet until last moment because I wanted to see the latest odds movements and the most possible line ups for today's match up.

Odds on hosts slashed down by 0.12 from opening odds on big Asian markets with the highest possible limits and I fully agree with this trend.

Espanyol coming to this game without 4 key players: first goalkeeper Lopez, key midfielders Melamed and Morlanes and best scorer Raul de Tomas (14 goals and 3 assists in 27 matches, he have been involved in 50% of Espanyol goals). It's big problem because Sociedad defensive formation is superb: they not conceded any goal in last 5 home consecutive matches (3 wins in a row to 'nil').

Sociedad still plays without their star Oyarzabal, but I see interesting statistics - Sociedad didn't lost any of 7 matches without him on the pitch.

Sociedad also have very good record in Monday matches played at home - they didn't lost in 14 of last 15 such matches. On the other hand Espanyol failed to win in 9 of last 10 away matches played at Monday.

I see big chances for hosts.
