Will Real Madrid celebrate the third win in the third match?

Celta Vigo can become a problem for some clubs at home in Balaidos, because the home side is not a bad team, on the contrary. In the previous season, Celta managed to stay in the league, but that took a lot of work.

The Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid prediction from bookmakers indicates a clear favorite role for the royals in this match. Real Madrid has clear advantages individually and even without a star striker a strong and offensively oriented team at their disposal. This must also be brought onto the pitch once again.

But not all that glitters is gold when it comes to Real Madrid. The royals have still allowed a bit too much so far. That’s why our Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid tip is also that both teams will score in this duel.

Celta Vigo – Statistics & current form

In the preseason, Celta Vigo managed to stay in the class in the final sprint in La Liga. The team showed itself relatively stable, towards the end of the season, some important victories were brought in. In the summer, Rafael Benitez was brought in as the new coach to try and give the team a new lease of life. The start to the new season was unsuccessful, with only one point in two games so far.

However, it should be noted that Benitez will not only not be able to rely on Gabri Veiga, the top midfield star who is willing to switch, but also that the coach will have to establish a new system and a new style of play. So you have to give him some time. The same goes for the team, which has been able to sign some interesting new names in Starfelt, Perez, Bamba and Sanchez. The squad is by no means bad, and it should be enough to keep the team in the league – and keep it there.

The 1-1 draw in the second game against Real Sociedad showed a bit more of what the hosts envisioned. A 4-4-2 with good compactness is what Benitez wants to see. Now, however, comes a very big opponent, which is why the Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid odds give the home side little hope of victory. However, the royals are not invulnerable.

Celta Vigo: plenty of room for improvement

The hosts have won two of their last seven competitive matches, so there is definitely room for improvement here. Celta must defend better than last season, when they conceded a total of 53 goals. At that time, Celta Vigo was significantly better at home than away, winning seven of the season’s only eleven matches at home. They are hoping for the same effect this time, knowing full well that everything will have to go right against Real Madrid.

But if there is a coach who can identify with a game against such a big team and who could have a trick up his sleeve, then it is Benitez, who himself has already been on the sidelines with the royals. Because improvements were seen in the last game and the visitors have offered a bit so far, our prediction ahead of the Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid game is that both teams will score.

Real Madrid – statistics & current form

Real Madrid is one of only a few teams that have managed to collect the ideal haul of six points so far in La Liga. And there is still room for improvement for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. At the same time, however, it must be remembered that the summer was not easy for the royals. The squad restructuring in particular faltered here and there.

Fran Garcia and Jude Bellingham were two very good additions, Arda Güler is a promise for the future and Joselu is a good rotation player, but the wish for Mbappe transfer does not come true, at least not this summer. The fact that two players at once, Militao and Courtois, tore their cruciate ligaments also does not add to the joy of those responsible.

Despite all the adversity, Real Madrid made a good impression. Because Bellingham works and because the flexible forward duo consisting of Vinicius and Rodrygo brings a lot of quality and, above all, speed. Exposing them to spaces can already be the death blow for a team.

Real Madrid: 22/23 too many away slip-ups

Real Madrid is now unbeaten five times in a row, winning four of those games. The fact that it was not enough for the title in 22/23 was due on the one hand to some slip-ups at home, when they played too often draw, but also to the seven defeats that the royals conceded in the away games, among others at Rayo, Mallorca or Girona.

Such lapses must not be repeated. Momentum in the forward play is the key to permanently challenging the opponent. The first impressions were good, and the Celta Vigo vs. Real Madrid betting odds indicate that the bookmakers consider a game with a few goals to be realistic.

Therefore, before the Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid match, our value tip is also that the visitors will win and more than 1.5 goals will be scored during the match.
