There are four fixtures to be played in La Liga on Sunday the 10th of April including the meeting between Espanyol and Celta Vigo.
The game will be played at the RCDE Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 12th place on 36 points while the visitors are one place above but on the same number of points.
Espanyol come into the match having lost 1-0 at Real Sociedad last weekend. The only goal of the game was scored from the penalty spot in the last minute and it was a huge blow to Espanyol who were close to taking a point.
That was the first defeat in 4 games for Espanyol having previously beat Getafe and Mallorca at home plus picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Levante.
Trends show Espanyol have been struggling to win matches and in their last 13 games in all competitions, Espanyol have a poor record of just 2 wins.
However, they are difficult to beat when playing at home and Espanyol haven't lost in 20 of their last 24 home matches in all competitions. That includes 11 of their last 13 home La Liga fixtures.
Under 2.5 goals have been scored in Espanyol's last 4 matches in La Liga and they have seen under 2.5 goals in each of their last 3 home league games.
Celta Vigo make the trip to the RCDE Stadium on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home against Real Madrid. Celta Vigo were 1-0 down after 19 minutes but scored the equaliser early in the second half. However, Real Madrid regained their lead with 20 minutes remaining on the clock and Celta Vigo failed to get back into the game.
That result means Celta Vigo have failed to win any of their 3 most recent matches, all of which have come in La Liga.
In addition to the defeat against Real Madrid, Celta Vigo lost 1-0 at Villarreal and picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at home against Real Betis.
Celta Vigo are finding victories difficult to come by of late and they have won only 1 of their last 7 fixtures. Away form in La Liga shows Celta Vigo have failed to win any of their 5 most recent away trips.
Trends show Celta Vigo have failed to score a goal in their 3 most recent away matches in all competitions and have seen under 2.5 goals in those 3 games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Espanyol are without Raúl de Tomás, which is a blow considering his goal scoring form this season.
Celta Vigo travel without defender Hugo Mallo but he is the only player who is likely to be unavailable for the visitors.
We expect to see few goals in this game and under 2.5 goals is a distinct possibility. Neither team are in a good form at present with wins difficult to come by and the match could end level.
