Real Madrid 10/11 to beat Celta Vigo in Saturday’s La Liga contest

Competition: La Liga

Market: Real Madrid win

Odds: 10/11 @ 888sport

Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Saturday night, runaway leaders Real Madrid will make the trip to Celta Vigo.

Starting with the hosts, while Celta Vigo might have been last seen picking up a gritty point, they were largely struggling with their consistency prior to the international break. In their 29 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, nine draws and 11 defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 32 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 36, they mark their return to action sat 11th in the table and just two points adrift of breaking into the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate against Real Betis on home soil, Celta Vigo have managed to win just one of their previous six outings. Likewise, it should also be noted, Saturday’s hosts have failed to win any of their previous 11 straight meetings against Los Blancos, a run that goes back to 2017.

As for the visitors, entering March’s international break with a woeful display in the El Classico, Real Madrid will be desperate for an immediate response here. In their 29 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded 20 wins, six draws and three defeats, scoring 59 and conceding 25 in return. Along with managing to muster a points tally of 66 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat holding a nine-point buffer at the top of the table, it should also be noted that Madrid hold the best-attacking tally in Spain’s top-flight. As for their recent run of results, despite being last seen getting hit with a shocking 4-0 loss against Barcelona, that is the only defeat that Saturday’s guests have suffered in their previous seven domestic contests. Holding an extended unbeaten record against Celta, we’re backing an away victory for the runaway leaders here.
