La Liga
Celta overturned Mallorca as a guest in the last round with a final score of 2:1. Before that, they only reached a 1:1 draw at home with Las Palmas. Generally, they perform stronger at home and have only three losses at home, all coming from teams in the top 4 of the standings. They have only failed to score in one home game, but lately Celta's victories have all been with a more precise goal difference.
Espanyol took another important step towards securing their place in the elite league. They are now four points away from the relegation zone after their most convincing victory of the season. It came in the last round, when they exploded with a 4:0 win as a guest against Rayo Vallecano. The victory is even more surprising, as it was only Espanyol's second win as a guest during the campaign. Espanyol has only two losses in the new year, and their last loss by more than a goal difference was in November.
Prediction: +1.5 AH for Espanyol, both teams to score: YESCelta is a stable host, but the improvement in Espanyol's performance lately is noticeable. Even if Espanyol loses here, it is most likely that it will not be by more than a goal difference, and I wouldn't be surprised if they score a goal in the match.
