Our predictions for Real Madrid vs Celta de Vigo
Match Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Celta de Vigo
Real Madrid’s recent form suggests a strong performance is on the cards, with two convincing victories in their last five matches. The predicted 4-3-3 lineup, featuring the attacking prowess of Mbappé and Vinicius Júnior, should pose significant threats to Celta Vigo’s defence. Real Madrid’s midfield, anchored by Tchouaméni and Bellingham, is likely to control the game’s tempo, potentially overwhelming Celta Vigo’s midfield.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, have shown inconsistency, with three wins and two losses in their recent outings. Their predicted 3-4-3 formation might struggle against Real Madrid’s fluid attack, especially with key players missing due to injury. Zaragoza and Aspas will need to be at their best to exploit any defensive lapses from Real Madrid.
