Tip and bets
We are expecting a victory from the hosts in the first match of a new season. They managed to keep the core of their squad, while Espanyol will start the season with a new head coach, who persuaded the board to sign some new players, but they are unlikely to make the difference right away. We are expecting a victory from Celta.
Our prediction - Celta to win the match
We are not expecting many goals in this game, opponents are just starting the new season, so attackers are not in the best shape. It will probably be a low-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
