Celta Vigo finished last La Liga campaign in 11th place, for the fifth time outside of top ten across the previous six seasons.
Meanwhile, Los Celestes failed to taste victory in their previous six La Liga season openers (D2, L4).

On the other hand, Espanyol finished last season in 14th place. It can be said that they have achieved the objective that was expected of them: to keep their place in the top flight.
Nevertheless, the Catalan side are poor La Liga starters with no wins across their previous five Primera season openers (D3, L2).
Espanyol will kick off their new season with new manager Diego Martinez, who has arrived to improve the club’s position and finish the season in the Top 10.
