Prediction: 2-2
Espanyol
Celta Vigo kick off the new La Liga campaign with a match against Espanyol. Celta Vigo were having their ups and downs in pre-season, but they are definitely capable of beating Espanyol at their Estadio de Balaidos. Defender Castro is no longer part of the team, but the club chiefs did well to keep hold of key attacker Iago Aspas, Gomez and Sisto in the summer transfer window. It is well known that Os Celeste are a real force to be reckoned with at home and given Espanyol’s poor away record in the Spanish top flight, we believe that the hosts are going to grab something from Saturday’s football game. Los Periquitos were scoring goals for fun in pre-season and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Celta. A lively contest is on the horizon and we predict that the two teams are going to play out a high-scoring draw at Estadio de Balaidos.
