Latest football commentary Celta Vigo vs Atletico Madrid
Celta Vigo have had a mixed season at home and away, winning all three games at Balaidos but losing all three away from home. Under Claudio Giraldez, the team started the season with back-to-back wins over Alaves and Valencia, but then suffered defeats against Villarreal and Osasuna. Despite a 3-1 win over Real Valladolid, Celta fell to a 3-1 defeat at San Mames against Athletic Bilbao, with Iago Aspas scoring a consolation penalty.
Celta Vigo are currently the third-highest scorers in the league with 14 goals, behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona, but their defence has conceded 13 goals, the second-worst defensive record. Despite this, the hosts will be confident heading into Thursday's clash, having not lost in their last nine home games (W7 D2). However, Celta have struggled against Atletico Madrid, failing to win in their last 11 (W8 D3).
Atletico Madrid have made a strong start to the 2024-25 season, with four wins and three draws from seven games. Although they remain unbeaten in La Liga, Atletico have been disappointed to have dropped points in three games, notably a goalless draw with Espanyol and a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. Diego Simeone will be keen to avoid any more mistakes on Thursday, especially ahead of Sunday's derby against Real Madrid.
Colchoneros will be confident knowing that they have won all six of their previous meetings with Celta, including a 3-0 win at Balaidos last season. Although Celta are unbeaten at home, they have often struggled against Atletico. Based on their current form, Atletico will likely have the quality to overcome the hosts and claim a seventh straight win in the competition.
