Match Overview
Straight on the back of their 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig midweek in the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid will take on Celta Vigo in a match in the Spanish La Liga at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The visiting side will want to get on the scoresheet as quickly as possible. If they don't do so, Madrid are likely to dominate the game throughout.
Key Highlights
Ranked 2nd in goals scored per match (2.1 goals), Real Madrid have been generally good while attacking this season. This will give them a big boost ahead of this game at home. Defensively too, they have been quite solid. They have kept the most clean sheets in the competition (13). Their star player, England's Jude Bellingham is the competition's top scorer (16).
Injury Report
For Madrid, Jude Bellingham has been suspended while Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao have been ruled out with injuries. Renato Tapia and Joseph Aidoo are among some of the players who will not be available for selection for Celta.
Prediction
One must not forget that Celta are ranked 13th in goals scored per match (1.1 goals). At the same time, they have scored 9 goals in their last 5 matches, which means that they are in good form in front of goal. However, they are ranked a lowly 9th in shots on target per match (4.2 shots). We expect Real Madrid to win this game comfortably.
