H2H: Celta Vigo vs. Espanyol – Score prediction (26.09.2019)

Overview.

With three red cards across Celta Vigo’s five LL matches, and over 2.5 match goals in 75% of Espanyol’s competitive fixtures this season, this clash could be set to entertain those present at the Abanca-Balaídos! Espanyol’s Europa League participation looks to be taking its toll after just one win in six competitive matches. They have kept just one clean sheet in that run, conceding two or more goals on four occasions. Furthermore, they have allowed the opposition to take the lead in each of their previous four competitive fixtures.

Despite scoring one goal or less in each of their La Liga (LL) matches so far, Celta Vigo remain in decent home form, winning five of their previous eight home LL matches. Impressively, four of those five wins saw them score 2+ goals, and 85.71% of their goals scored in those eight home fixtures came in the second half. There has been nothing between these sides across their previous three H2H LL meetings. Those fixtures contributed to a sequence of both teams scoring in seven of the previous nine LL matches.
