Espanyol vs Celta Vigo – On Sunday afternoon at RCDE Stadium, mid-table rivals Espanyol and Celta Vigo will face off in the 31st round of Spanish La Liga. After 30 rounds of action in the premier division of Spanish football, there is nothing separating these two teams.
They’re tied for 11th place on the table with 36 points apiece, and they’ve got nowhere to go in the final eight games of the season.
Espanyol, on the other hand, has more reason to be optimistic going into this match, owing to their excellent home form in this season’s La Liga.
Vicente Moreno’s team will enter this match unbeaten in four consecutive league home games. It’s a respectable thread when you consider the opponents, which includes Barcelona and Sevilla along the way.
In wins over Getafe and Mallorca, Moreno’s team has kept back-to-back clean sheets at home.
Their back line performed admirably against Real Sociedad last Saturday, but Espanyol were unfortunate to concede a 96th-minute goal and lose 1-0 at Reale Arena in Donostia-San Sebastian.
Espanyol vs Celta Vigo – Betting Analysis
Celta Vigo also lost their match against Real Madrid last weekend, falling 1-2 at home. When the referee blew three penalties against the squad coached by Argentine manager Eduardo Coudet, the situation could not have been much worse.
Two goals from Karim Benzema were enough for Ancelotti and his team to prevail at Balaidos.
Celta Vigo has lost four of their previous six away matches in all competitions, while drawing two. They also have a poor record in away matches versus Espanyol.
Everything indicates to a great afternoon for the RCDE Stadium faithful, and we have to see the value in backing Espanyol to win at 2.75 odds.
