Prediction

  • An early goal from Joselu was not enough for Espanyol to get a result at the Bernabeu as they lost 3-1 to Real Madrid. The striker scored his 12th league goal of the season, but Espanyol were already down before the break. They are just one point above the dropzone.
  • Celta Vigo thrashed Rayo Vallecano 3-0 in their last fixture to move them up to 11th in the league table. Aspas scored twice in the second half with an own goal from Vallecano in between. Celta are now unbeaten in their last four games and have lost just one of their last seven.
  • Aspas and Joselu scored for their respective sides when they met on the opening day. The fixture ended 2-2 but Espanyol did beat Celta 3-1 after extra time in the Copa del Rey in January.
