Prediction
Real Madrid lost a tempestuous Copa del Rey final to Clasico rivals Barcelona last weekend and if they are to pip their foes to the La Liga title they need to get the better of Celta Vigo in this clash.
The fitness of Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe is a big boost for Carlo Ancelotti’s side but they still have plenty of issues defensively.
Celta Vigo have scored eight goals in their last four games and are fancied to get on the scoresheet once again.
Both teams have found the net in nine of the visitors’ last 11 away games and they could make an impression, although Real Madrid are fancied to come out on top.
