Celta Vigo to Win
Espanyol were one of the worst-performing teams on the road in La Liga last term, winning just one of their 19 away league fixtures overall and though they start a new era under the direction of Diego Martinez, it could take them some time to shake their travel sickness. Celta Vigo were one of the many teams to profit from Espanyol’s away-day malaise when they beat them 3-1 in December and the hosts could force a repeat result on Saturday.
Both Teams to Score
Recent meetings between Celta Vigo and Espanyol have been fertile hunting grounds for both teams to score bettors. Remarkably, seven of the last nine encounters between the clubs have produced action at both ends, including each of the sides' last five tussles at the Abanca-Balaídos. With quality players littered across both frontlines, we’re tipping that pattern to continue this weekend in Saturday’s opener.
