Espanyol aims to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat as they host Celta Vigo at RCDE Stadium in La Liga Gameweek 24. Espanyol, currently sixth with 34 points, have struggled recently, losing their last four league matches and failing to win since December 22. They have a mixed home record of six wins, one draw, and five losses. Historically, Espanyol has a strong record against Celta, winning five of their last seven encounters. Celta, with 33 points in seventh place, has only one win in their last three league games and suffered a recent 2-1 home defeat to Osasuna. They are preparing for the Europa League knockout stage and are focused on climbing the league standings. Both teams are battling for a top-six finish, and a win could see Celta move above Espanyol. Team news indicates Espanyol will be without Javi Puado due to injury, but Carlos Romero and Roman Terrats return. Celta's Alvaro Nunez remains doubtful, but other players are fit. Predicted lineups include Dmitrovic and Ngonge for Espanyol, and Radu and Iglesias for Celta. The match is expected to be closely contested, with a likely low-scoring draw predicted. Additionally, the RCDE Stadium will host a Fan Zone event with activities, music, food, and a costume contest for fans, enhancing the pre-match experience.
