Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.9310/11 in Espanyol v Celta Vigo

Espanyol v Celta Vigo
Tuesday 19:00

Braga 3 Tondela 0 in Portugal yesterday. A fine start to the week and it's enough to keep us interested in Iberia today.

Espanyol's clashes with Celta Vigo have a long history of underwhelming the neutral. Since Celta returned to Spain's top table in 2013, 5/7 Liga meetings have ended with Under 2.5 Goals. At the Cornella El Prat, all three meetings have finished 1-0 to the home side.

Not yet certain of their place in La Liga for next season, the 15th-placed Parakeets would bite your hand off for the same result again. We wouldn't be quite so aggressive, but we do like the idea of Under 2.5 Goals this evening.

Espanyol have scored only nine times in nine home matches under Constantin Galca, while sixth-placed Celta have notched just 10 in 11 on the road.
