Celta Vigo vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Celta Vigo Form

Celta Vigo have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Deportivo Alaves, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Las Palmas, who ran out 2-1 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 2-2 draw with Getafe. Celta Vigo claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the La Liga, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored five and conceded eight goals.

Atletico Madrid Form

Atletico Madrid look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Cadiz, who were defeated by 3-2. Then, Feyenoord got outclassed in a 3-2 win, before beating Real Sociedad by 2-1. Atletico Madrid claimed two wins against three draws and one defeat in their last six away matches in the La Liga. The scoreline from these matches reads eight goals conceded and 14 scored.

Does Atletico Madrid have enough about them to take out Celta Vigo this coming Saturday? We are not as sure as odds suggest, but considering aspects like form, strength in squad and match history, we believe they'll come through in the end.

Celta Vigo have so far been able to win just once after nine La Liga games played, in stead showing off three draws and five defeats. Atletico Madrid enjoy a record of six wins, one draw and one defeat in the La Liga.
