Celta Vigo – Espanyol Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (01.03.2017)

Prediction for Celta Vigo – Espanyol

Celta de Vigo more than 6.5 corners @ 2.38

Celta Vigo

We are going with this important match to try to fight for the places that can give access to Europe, we must not forget that this season has many options that the 7º classified in league goes to the Europa League, and here we have 2 teams whose aspirations can now Be that although the Celta have hopes in the Europa League this season after eliminating the Ukrainians.

The table vigues is a good team, this last day in his last party rested several of his most important players against Sporting because they came from playing Europa League, Berizzo is doing rotations throughout the season due to the important load Of games they are having for the Copa del Rey, Europe and league.
At home despite not being the team so happy of other seasons are having very good results (8 victories and 3 losses (Sevilla-At.Madrid and Leganes)). And to win this match they get full in the fight for the 7th place ahead of a direct rival and a game less in the classification that if against Real Madrid.
In principle only Roncaglia would miss this match for accumulation of yellow and the rest will be at the disposal of Berizzo.

Espanyol

The Espanyol comes from comfortably winning to Osasuna in a party that did not suppose to him more wear and it is put in the fight, is a equipment quite aguerrido since the arrival of Quique this season that tries to close spaces and not allow the rival plays comfortably with Which almost feels more comfortable outside the home than at home, where they do not have to lead the initiative of the game.
Away from home they have had 4 wins 3 draws and 4 losses (Barcelona Real Madrid Valencia and Sevilla) as we always see good teams away from home.
For that meeting Leo Baptistao and Victor Sanchez are both injured. And Quique may do some rotations in the 11th due to the days so followed and that next weekend will have another difficult encounter also at home against Villarreal.

As I commented Celta no longer makes football so colorful of other seasons, but I think that here is going to lead the meeting and with Espanyol something more replegado, as for the numbers:

It is true that the Celta no longer draws as many as other seasons, at home only average 5.0 corners in favor while Espanyol by its style of play concedes enough corners to rival 8.5 per game when playing away from home. The Catalan box does not care to be more locked in their area and give way to the local team and only the 11 games that have gone out to play outside in 3 games would not have let the rival did not reach 7 corners (Alaves, Barcelona and Valencia ).
The Celta have only managed to reach this number 3 times (Leganes, Alaves and Sporting) but I think the match did not break soon that Espanyol is a tough opponent especially on the defensive level and that the possession possessions of Celta van To be enough to get this amount of corners in this match.
