Our Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Predictions indicate that Real Madrid’s recent performance on the road has been underwhelming, with draws against Mallorca and Las Palmas. However their away win against Real Sociedad was a significant improvement.
Although Atletico Madrid’s last gasp equaliser prevented two away wins on the spin, Celta Vigo aren’t on their level, making this a potentially easier challenge for Carlo Ancelotti.
The hosts will be without midfielder Ilaix Moriba and forward Iago Aspas, both of whom were sent off in their last match against Las Palmas. Without these key players, Real Madrid should be able to pick them off.
The champions have won the last five matches away against Celta Vigo, and this could easily be number six.
In three of their last five matches, Real Madrid, under Ancelotti, have netted two or more goals, suggesting they could replicate this performance over the weekend.

In our Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Predictions, we can see that Real Madrid are well-positioned to capitalise on Celta Vigo’s vulnerabilities and continue their strong scoring form. With a history of success against Celta and the added motivation to challenge Barcelona, they are poised for a convincing win.
Real Madrid have only kept one clean sheet in their four away matches so far, making it seem risky to back them to keep another. However, they were close to a second clean sheet until Atletico Madrid scored in the final minute. Mallorca have proven to be stronger than most expected this season.
Celta Vigo might struggle to score without their star forward, Iago Aspas, who has scored 25% of Celta Vigo’s goals. Without him spearheading the attack, they may have trouble penetrating Ancelotti’s defence.
The hosts fell to a 1-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid in round seven, and the champions will want to deliver a similar result.
Real Madrid is poised to capitalise on Celta Vigo’s challenges, such as key player absences and recent poor form. With a strong history against Celta and a powerful attack, they are likely to secure a win and keep pressure on Barcelona, despite some defensive concerns.
