 Celta Vigo

After a goalless draw against Mallorca and only 17 points from 17 games, we can be almost certain that Celta Vigo will be fighting for another season more to avoid relegation than to fight for the European places. It has been several seasons in a row in this dynamic.

For any team, playing at home is an advantage, as it is usually the main source of points, but this is not the case for Celta this season. In nine games at Balaídos they have only managed one win, while draws and defeats have been counted on two and six occasions respectively. They are the second worst home team so far.

Celta have scored 17 goals in 17 games, an average of one goal per game. They are not the worst team in this aspect, but certainly more was expected of them.

 Espanyol

After winning 4-3 in a crazy game against Levante the previous matchday, Espanyol face this matchday playing as the away team, which so far has been synonymous with defeats.

Following on from the above, Espanyol are so far the second worst away team, in fact, they are on par with Levante, Getafe and Villarreal the only teams that have yet to win a game away from home. Three draws and five defeats in eight games for Espanyol away from the RCDE Stadium.

Despite their poor away performances, Espanyol’s improvement in the last few rounds has been very evident, the only thing they need is to be a bit more consistent and improve their performance both at home and away.

Celta Vigo vs Espanyol Predictions

A match between one of the worst home teams and one of the worst away teams.The difference between the two is that one of the two has had a positive trend in the last few rounds, we are talking about Espanyol, while the other team has been more stuck and shows no signs of improvement. We think this match could be Espanyol’s first away win of the season.
