Espanyol host Celta Vigo at RCDE Stadium in Barcelona for a key LaLiga encounter on February 14, 2026. Espanyol sit sixth with 34 points from 10 wins, four draws, and nine losses, while Celta Vigo trail in seventh with 33 points from eight wins, nine draws, and six losses. Espanyol hold a slight edge as home favorites in this tight mid-table battle that could decide European spots next season.
Espanyol fell 4-1 to Villarreal away on February 9, conceding twice per half in their heaviest league defeat this year. This setback stretched their winless league run to five matches, with four straight losses before a 1-1 draw at Levante on January 11. Their last league triumph arrived on December 21, 2025, beating Mallorca 2-0 at home.
Celta Vigo lost 1-2 at home to Osasuna on February 6, despite a second-half penalty equalizer before a late winner for the visitors. This defeat followed a 0-0 draw at Getafe on February 1 and a 1-1 Europa League tie at Crvena Zvezda on January 29, marking three games without a win. Their most recent league victory came on January 18, defeating Rayo Vallecano 3-0 at home.
Espanyol edge the head-to-head record with 17 wins against Celta Vigo's 14 in 43 meetings, plus 12 draws. Espanyol claimed victory in each of the last three clashes, including a 3-1 home success in March 2023. At RCDE Stadium, Espanyol boast 47 wins over Celta Vigo in 71 games across all competitions.
My prediction is Both Teams To Score at 1.91. Espanyol's home games average 2.5 goals, and Celta Vigo netted in eight of their last 10 away fixtures. Recent head-to-heads saw both sides score in four of the past six encounters. The xG projection (1.31–1.25) supports a 1-1 finish.
