Prediction

  • Espanyol, on a four-game losing streak in La Liga, faced an uphill task against a resurgent Celta side. Despite securing promotion back to La Liga through the Segunda Division playoffs, the Catalan team had found the going tough, losing seven of their last eight league matches. Recent defeats to Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Barcelona, and Girona highlighted Espanyol's struggles, making a positive result imperative as they sought to reverse their fortunes.
  • RC Celta, led by Claudio Giráldez, entered the contest on the back of a spirited 2-2 draw with Barcelona, showcasing their resilience and attacking prowess. Unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions, including a recent 1-0 victory over Getafe, Celta occupied the 11th spot in the league with 18 points from 14 matches. Celta might have European aspiration but will have to tighten up at the back as they have conceded 24 goals (almost 2 goals a game) despite them doing well at the other end of the pitch.
  • Espanyol sought redemption and vital points to climb out of the relegation zone, while Celta aimed to capitalize on their opponent's struggles to and get their second away win of the season.
