Last week’s victory away to Rayo Vallecano certainly gave Espanyol a chance to breathe, and they’ve moved away, but not by much, from the relegation zone. The Catalans now have a four-point lead over the third-from-last team. But the nightmare of relegation could come back with a vengeance on Saturday night.
The visitors have very little hope of getting a positive result at Celta Vigo. Not only because of the difference in value highlighted by the Spanish top flight table, but also and above all because of another factor: Celta, who have 43 points in the table, are in seventh place which would mean Conference League at the moment but they also have the possibility of closing in on Betis, who will be distracted by the European commitments they still have to face. In short, it seems that everything is set.
And then there is also the factor of form, which is significantly in favor of the team playing at home: the Basques have won 8 games in a row. They are doing well, they have given themselves the chance to play for something important in this final phase of the season, and they certainly don’t want to give up at this important moment. In short, there is no other explanation.

The prediction
Celta Vigo are on a roll and don’t want to make any mistakes. Even if Espanyol need points to try and get out of a difficult situation in the league table, it’s too important for the home team to win this match. And they will.
