Latest News, Recent Form, and Probable Espanyol vs Celta Vigo Lineups
This is a very close game and we expect it to be exciting, so let's check both teams out in more detail before the match:
Espanyol
With two wins, two draws, and two losses in the last six La Liga matches, Espanyol has been pretty inconsistent, but that's the case for them this entire season. That's why the team is sitting in the twelfth spot in the standings, right around the middle of the entire league, and they are unlikely to move much up or down in the remaining matches.
When it comes to team news, Espanyol will again bet without their top scorer Raul de Tomas, who is dealing with a shoulder injury. Other than that, the team is in good shape right now.
Espanyol Predicted Lineup:
Pacheco – Gil, Montes, S. Gomez, Cabrera – Puado, Vinicius, Gragera, Darder – Braithwaite, Joselu
Celta Vigo
Just like their upcoming opponent, Celta Vigo has been hot and cold this season and they are sitting in the 11th place in the standings, with the same number of points as Espanyol. The situation is the same when it comes to their recent form since Celta Vigo has one win, two draws, and three losses in the last six games.
Meanwhile, the team will be without Hugo Mallo once again due to a knee problem, but the rest of the team is currently healthy and available for selection.
Celta Vigo Predicted Lineup:
Villar – Vazquez, Aidoo, Nunez, Galan – Perez, Beltran, Veiga, De la Torre – Seferovic, Aspas
Starting Lineups
Check the starting lineups once they are released, about one hour before kickoff.
Espanyol
Celta Vigo
Player to Watch: Iago Aspas
Iago Aspas will be the key player in the game. The Celta Vigo striker has been in good form throughout the campaign and he has been the club’s best player of the season so far with eleven goals and three assists from the 25 league matches.
While we can see this being a very interesting matchup and a close game, Aspas seems like the most likely player to make a difference in this duel, so Espanyol has to keep a close eye on him.
