Celta Vigo and Espanyol to Draw
Although Espanyol has been the better team so far this season and they are currently six points ahead of Celta Vigo, it's Celta that's the better team on paper.
They are also playing at home, so bookies regard them as favourites in this match. However, our prediction for this game is a draw, both because Espanyol is in better form and because the last five meetings between these two teams have ended without a winner.

In addition to this, Celta Vigo drew at half time in eleven of their seventeen games in La Liga, while Espanyol drew at half time in four of their eight away games in the league this season.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
The last four head-to-head duels between Celta Vigo and Espanyol have gone under 2.5 total goals, so we would be surprised to see a different outcome in their next game.

Celta Vigo vs Espanyol preview: A very interesting matchup
In the last six matches, Celta Vigo only has one loss. However, they also have just one win, along with four draws, and with their poor form from the start of the season, that's only enough to put them in the 14th spot in the standings. More importantly, Celta is currently just four points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone, so they need to go on a good run soon. This could be a tall task since the team is without their top scorer Aspas, as well as Galhardo, Vazquez, and Solari, who are all injured at the moment.
With nearly half of the season gone, Espanyol is in a pretty good position for a team that just got back to the top flight of Spanish football. At the moment, Espanyol is ninth in the standings and they have three wins and three losses in the last six matches in the league. Calero, Gil, and Lopez are injured and out of the upcoming match.
