Prediction: 1-2
Celta Vigo
RCDE Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Espanyol and Celta Vigo, the two mid-table sides. Los Periquitos aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Real Valladolid and Real Madrid, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Celeste. All Gori, Keidi Bare, and Adria Pedrosa are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Galicians, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Espanyol’s dressing room. A man to watch in the away team will be former Liverpool striker Iago Aspas, who scored a brace in the last league match, while both Oscar Mingueza and Agustin Marchesin miss out with injuries. Both Hugo Mallo and Renato Tapia are back from suspensions.
