Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be open and with several plays of danger, since the teams have enormous quality in the most offensive sector. Despite this, we hope that the home team dominates and holds the best chances to score goals, as it aims to start the Spanish championship in the best way. On the other hand, Espanyol should only act in the counterattack, a transition in which it is very competent. That said, all conditions are met for the "Over 2.5 goals" to be the winner.

Analysis Celta Vigo

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 13th last season. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a away draw against Fulham by (2‑2). Celta de Vigo has won 4 and tied 6 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Celta de Vigo comes to this match with a 1-2 defeat against Mainz 05, in a game to prepare for the upcoming official matches. In this home match it is anticipated that the new coach Antonio Mohamed will play in the usual tactical system, that is to say, the 4-4-2 benefiting ball possession and the organized attacks: Pisto Sisto is a fundamental player in the home team. However the locals showed some weaknesses in the defensive set pieces and aerial game. For this game the manager can not count on Junca, Roncaglia and Jensen, players recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Álvarez, Hugo Mallo, Junior Alonso, Gustavo Cabral, Néstor Araujo, Stanislav Lobotka, Fran Beltrán, Brais Méndez, Iago Aspas, Maximiliano Gómez, Pione Sisto.
Coach: R. Benítez Maudes.

Analysis Espanyol

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 11th last season. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 15 conceded.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches.

Espanyol arrives at this game with a 1-3 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach, adding in this way the sixth triumph followed in preparation games. In this away match, coach David Gallego should play with a low block, exploring the space on the opponent's back in the best way: Pablo Piatti is the main player in this type of transition. It is important to emphasize that Espanyol has some competence in set pieces, counterattack and defensive organization. For this difficult game the coach can not count on David Lopez and Sergio Sanchez, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego López, Javi López, Dídac Vila, David López, Hermoso, Marc Roca, Víctor Sánchez, Darder, Pablo Piatti, Borja Iglesias, Léo Baptistão.
