Celta Vigo

WDWLLW

Celta Vigo come into this meeting following a 3-0 La Liga win vs Villarreal in their last match.

In that match, Celta Vigo managed 61% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 9 on target. For Celta Vigo, goals were scored by Fer López (45'), Borja Iglesias (53') and Iago Aspas (87'). For their opponents, Villarreal got 4 shots at goal with 1 of them on target.

Claudio Giráldez's Celta Vigo have had reason to celebrate scoring a total of 10 times in the course of their latest six matches. The aggregate of goals that they have conceded during those same clashes adds up to 8.

Coming into this contest, Celta Vigo haven't won against Real Madrid when they have played them away from home in the previous 12 matches in the league. Very poor away form.

👥 Head to head

A quick look at past results between these clubs stretching back to 20/08/2022 shows that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for Celta Vigo. They have not managed to register any victories whatsoever while Real Madrid have maintained the edge over them, beating them in 100 per cent of those matches played.

Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 22 overall which averages out at 3.67 goals per match.

🗞️ Team News: Real Madrid

Rodrygo (Fever), Ferland Mendy (Muscle injury), David Alaba (Meniscus tear), Antonio Rüdiger (Tear of the lateral meniscus), Eduardo Camavinga (Hamstring injury), Daniel Carvajal (Cruciate ligament tear) and Éder Militão (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.

We are thinking that Los Blancos should use the 4-4-2 formation for the game, handing starts to Thibaut Courtois, Lucas Vazquez, Aurelien Tchouameni, Raul Asencio, Francisco Garcia, Federico Valverde, Arda Guler, Daniel Ceballos, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

ℹ️ Team News: Celta Vigo

There’s a good chance that Os Celestes will likely play in a 3-2-4-1 system using Vicente Guaita, Javi Rodriguez, Yoel Lago, Marcos Alonso, Sergio Carreira, Oscar Mingueza, Pablo Duran, Fran Beltran, Ilaix Moriba, Williot Swedberg and Borja Iglesias.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Celta Vigo are capable enough to put one past this Real Madrid team, although it might not be enough to avoid defeat.

Our selection here is for a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Real Madrid at full-time. Looking forward to this.
