Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd April 2023

Real Madrid come up against visiting side Celta Vigo in a La Liga fixture this coming Saturday at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid are chasing the first place in the La Liga after collecting 62 points from their initial 29 encounters. Celta Vigo trail them on 36 points after 29 rounds, sitting as number 12 in the table.

Top side Real Madrid will be hoping to inflict more misery on lowly placed Celta Vigo this coming Saturday. The hosts should simply be able to bring far too much to the table for the visitors to have any say on Saturday.

Real Madrid show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.1 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 21 goals, whilst they allowed eight goals against, for an average of 0.8 per outing. They pulled off five clean sheets.

Celta Vigo travel to their next away match this coming Saturday having performed a tolerable average of 1.8 goals in ten matches. They scored a total of 18 goals, whilst shipping 11 goals against. An average of 1.1 goals against a game. They hung on to three clean sheets in this streak.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 1-4 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Saturday.
