There will be fireworks when Celta Vigo and Real Madrid face each other at Estadio de Balaidos on Saturday evening. Nine-man Celta did well to beat Las Palmas on the road before the international break, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the title holders. As both Ilaix Moriba and Iago Aspas are banned for the match, home win should not be considered.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Villarreal. As Celta head into the game with a severely-weakened squad, we are tempted to put our money on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops. You should bear in mind that Real Madrid are eyeing their ninth consecutive win over Real Madrid in the Spanish top flight. The likes of Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, and Vinicius Junior should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Score Prediction: Celta Vigo 1-2 Real Madrid
