Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
Real Madrid continue their chase of Barcelona, having not lost in the league yet, but two unexpected draws at the beginning of the season cost them valuable points. Now they face a tough trip to Celta Vigo. Can they secure three points from this match?
Celta Vigo
The hosts are fourth in the league in terms of goals scored, with 16, but severe defensive issues prevent them from consistently earning points. They have kept a clean sheet only once, against Las Palmas, the team at the bottom of the table. Additionally, in the last round, two key players, Ilaix Moriba and Iago Aspas, received red cards.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid are finding their stride this season, with Carlo Ancelotti continuously discovering new solutions to their problems. In their previous match, Real Madrid neutralised Villarreal’s quick attack, winning 2:0. Meanwhile, their own attack seems to have no major issues. Kylian Mbappé has recovered, and Jude Bellingham has found form, finally scoring, albeit for his national team.
Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid currently hold an eight-game winning streak. In the last encounter, they comprehensively defeated Celta Vigo 4:0. At this point, a victory for Real looks likely, as their players’ level of skill should ensure the win.
