Espanyol vs Celta Vigo Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last seven meetings between these two clubs.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in 61% of Espanyol’s home games.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in 56% of Celta Vigo’s away games.

Espanyol only have one game left to end their losing streak following Thursday’s 1-0 defeat at Valencia and even though they are already relegated, the hosts will want to end the season with a home win. Celta Vigo lost 3-2 at home to Levante and sit a point above the relegation zone heading into Sunday’s clash, where only a win will confirm their La Liga status for another season.

Our prediction for under 2.5 goals being scored in Sunday’s match carries plenty of weight. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of their last seven meetings between these two clubs, as well as in five of Espanyol’s last six league games. 61% of Espanyol’s home matches and 56% of Celta Vigo’s away trips this season have seen under 2.5 goals scored, so you can see why we’re expecting a low-scoring affair on Sunday.

As for a final scoreline, we’re predicting a 1-0 win for Celta Vigo as they actually have something huge to play for on the final day of the season. Espanyol have lost 11 of their 18 home games this season and have actually played worse in their own backyard than they have on the road. The visitors score an average of 0.83 goals per away game which is why we have predicted a narrow 1-0 win for Celta Vigo in what is bound to be a tense and nervy 90-minutes for the away side, but Espanyol have lost their last eight league games and have failed to score in all bar one of those matches.
