Real Madrid – Celta Vigo Preview

Real Madrid hosts Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu in a fixture from the 34th round of La Liga. Stay with us and these sure soccer predictions.

 

Real Madrid’s only hope for a trophy this season remains La Liga. Los Blancos are four points behind the leader Barcelona, but only five rounds before the season’s finale. It means that Carlo Ancelotti’s boys don’t have a lot of time – they must act now in order to take Barca off the top.

 

The problem is that Real Madrid is plagued by injuries. Most of the team’s defenders are injured with Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba being the latest ones. It means that most likely Carlo Ancelotti will have to pick Aurelien Tchouameni in defense once again.

 

Kylian Mbappe is expected to return to Real Madrid’s starting eleven. The French striker started from the bench in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona because of an injury. But he entered the pitch in the second half and even scored a goal.

 

Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo are among the players who have to give more for Madrid right now. The Brazilian strikers are not in the best shape lately. They didn’t do much against Barca, too – but now Real needs them.

 

Celta Vigo are 7th in the standings with 46 points so they are having a good season in La Liga. The manager Claudio Giraldez managed to build a proper team at the Balaidos.

 

In their last game Celta hosted Villarreal at home and secured a crushing 3-0 win against the Yellow Submarine. Fer Lopez opened the score for Celta while Borja Iglesias and Iago Aspas finished the job for the hosts.

 

That’s the sure soccer predictions for the La Liga fixture between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday. That’s surely a solid test for Madrid – let’s see if they can continue fighting for the title.
