If you ask me, Barcelona has already exceeded expectations, but knowing head coach Hansi Flick and Los Azulgranas, they won’t hit the brakes anytime soon. Especially after Lamine Yamal was crowned the best young player in the world during the Ballon d’Or ceremony.

Top Picks for Barcelona vs Espanyol on Nov. 3

1. Barca Team Total Over 3½

Like Vince McMahon would say, there’s no chance in hell Barcelona will lose this match. First, Los Azulgranas are unbeaten when playing at home thanks to a 4-0-0 record. Besides being undefeated, Barca scored 15 goals and conceded two.

Most recently, Los Azulgranas crushed Sevilla 5-1. Robert Lewandowski led the way with a brace while Raphinha and Yamal shined with an assist. Two games before that, they crushed Valladolid 7-0. Valladolid is two points behind Espanyol.

The trio of Lewandowski, Raphinha and Yamal should be enough for you to include the team total going over 3½ goals in your La Liga soccer picks. Lewandowski is the league’s top scorer with 14 goals while Raphinha has scored six and Yamal five.

And let’s not forget that Barcelona’s last match was El Clasico against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu and guess what? Los Azulgranas won 4-0. That’s precisely the score I expect for Sunday’s clash at Montjuic.

Finally, there are no major injuries to report, which means Barcelona can go at full speed right from the start because the team’s depth is insane!

2. Lamine Yamal to Score

Of course, Lewandowski is the online betting favorite to score at -225, and he probably will, but I have a better deal for you: Lamine Yamal at +160.

Yamal has scored five goals and leads the league in assists with six. That means he’s heavily involved in the team’s attacking plans. And let’s not forget he’s only 17, which means his stamina is different.

You can also expect Yamal to be highly motivated after winning the award for Best Young Player during the Ballon d’Or ceremony, following in the footsteps of his teammates Pedri and Gavi. That’s right, Barcelona’s core is that good.

I am very proud to win this trophy. I want to thank the staff, the players, the national team, Luis de la Fuente, Xavi, who was there for me, and now Hansi … Visca el Barça and capital 304,” said the youngster while receiving the trophy. Can you imagine? I can’t even remember what was I doing when I was 17!

Anyway, there will be a huge ovation for Yamal before the game begins and I have no doubt that his teammates will be looking for him constantly on the pitch for him to score and get an even bigger ovation. Take him in your La Liga player prop betting.

Bet This Pick: Lamine Yamal to Score (+160)
