Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction: A Win That's Just Enough

Latest team news for Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo

Real Madrid will continue to be without Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao due to long-term knee injuries. Ferland Mendy, David Alaba, and Antonio Rudiger have also had their seasons cut short by injury.

Eduardo Camavinga will also be unavailable due to a groin problem. However, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are ready to play after recent concerns, while Jude Bellingham and Lucas Vazquez are also eligible to play despite having received red cards in the Copa del Rey final.

Specifically, Bellingham's ban has been overturned, while Vazquez will serve his suspension in the Copa del Rey next season.

Centre-back Aurelien Tchouameni is likely to partner Raul Asencio, with Fran Garcia and Lucas Vazquez on the flanks. Meanwhile, Rodrygo will be absent due to illness.

For Celta Vigo, Carl Starfelt remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury, while Jones El-Abdellaoui's participation is still uncertain due to a thigh problem. However, the rest of the squad is ready to play.

Coach Giraldez may only make one change from the team that beat Villarreal, with Ilaix Moriba being considered to replace Fran Beltran in midfield.

Despite Iago Aspas scoring from the penalty spot in the previous match, the veteran striker is still likely to be on the bench. Celta's attacking trio will most likely consist of Alfon Gonzalez, Fer Lopez, and Borja Iglesias.

Latest Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo football match prediction

Real Madrid currently sit four points behind league leaders Barcelona with five games remaining. However, with Hansi Flick and his team almost certain to secure three points against bottom-placed Real Valladolid on Saturday, Real Madrid could see the gap widen to seven points when they play.

Any result other than a win would virtually close the La Liga title race, but securing all three points would give Real a crucial boost ahead of the decisive El Clásico on May 11th.

Undeniably, this is a difficult period for Carlo Ancelotti and his team. They were thrashed by Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals, and then suffered a 2-3 defeat against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final last weekend.

However, Real Madrid have maintained their stability in La Liga with three consecutive 1-0 victories. They will need to maintain this winning streak when they face Celta Vigo – a team with ambitions to break into European competition.

Real Madrid are on a nine-match winning streak against Celta in La Liga, including a 2-1 victory in the first leg of this season. Additionally, Real also defeated Celta 5-2 at the Bernabeu in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey back in January.

Celta Vigo haven't beaten Real Madrid in La Liga since May 2014, and the last time they left the Bernabeu with three points was almost 20 years ago – enough to show how difficult this match will be.

Nevertheless, Claudio Giraldez's team just had an impressive 3-0 victory against Villarreal – a team competing for a Champions League spot – and are currently ranked 7th with 46 points, a position that would secure them a place in the Europa League next season.

However, the gap between Celta and ninth-placed Mallorca is only two points, meaning they still need to put in a lot of effort for the remainder of the season.

Celta's 3-4 defeat to Barcelona in their last away game is evidence of their inconsistent form on the road. They have only managed 13 points from 16 away games this season – a low figure compared to the other teams competing for European qualification.

Conversely, Celta boasts one of the best home records in La Liga with 10 wins in 17 matches. They will have to rely more heavily on their home advantage in the race for European qualification.
