Espanyol v Celta Vigo Predictions, 18 Sep 2017
The Match Is Over. Score:
2-1
Espanyol welcome the visit of North-west side Celta Vigo in a bid to avenge the 0-2 reverse in their corresponding game of last season, as the Celts enjoyed their first full set of points last time out when beating Alaves 1-0. Espanyol v Celta Vigo Predictions.
Having previously conceded 5 goals over two opening games at the outset, Celta Vigo responded positively with narrowly putting aside Alaves; what's even important is that they were able to keep a first clean sheet following a flow of let-in goals early on - and they could react similarly in this one, valued at the odds of 5/2 with Bet365 for the visitors to keep their goal scoring-free.
The opening-day 1-1 draw against Sevilla - therefore a single point to the tally - is the only spoil Espanyol have been able to get over three games to date, following it up with losses to Leganes and Barcelona, leaving the Budgerigars bottom of the table and a negative -6 goal difference.
Celta Vigo: Sergio Alvarez - Hugo Mallo, Gustavo Cabral, Andreu Fontas, Jonny - Jozabed Sanchez, Stanislav Lobotka, Daniel Wass - Iago Aspas, Maxi Gomez, Pione Sisto (4-3-3 formation)
Celta Vigo: Doubful: Nemanja Radoja, John Guidetti.

Conclusion and Match Preview:
I expect a roughly even game with each side creating a minimum of scoring chances going forward, making the midfield and back lines a top priority. With that said, it's rather difficult to see Espanyol make it out without letting in; hence we're backing Celta Vigo to break the seal of the opposition's goal once at least and hold it up until the final whistle.Our Betting Tip: |
