Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Prediction
This clash brings two teams that have been campaigning somewhat differently until now in the Primera division, although none of them are in a bad position. However, Real Madrid’s situation is much quieter as it leads the competition, having the best attack and also one of the best defenses. Celta de Vigo appears almost in the middle of the table, showing a poor defense and an efficient attack. Thus, as we will have two clubs in the field with efficiency in the offensive sector, it is a good option to bet on a game with more goals than usual.
