Sunday night football in Primera Division, as Celta Vigo hosts Real Madrid in the 33rd round of La Liga.
Celta is looking very good, coming after two wins over Rayo Vallecano (6-1) and Eibar (1-0) … hosts are 9th in La Liga and have nothing left to fight for but this allows them to play free of pressure … a thing that works very well for an offensive team like Celta. Three weeks ago Celta played against Barcelona at home and it was a very balanced match, Barcelona winning 1-0 via a late goal by Mathieu in a game where Celta probably deserved the draw. Hosts proved they can mix it up against top teams and will try to capitalize on Real’s European hangover effect. For today Celta will not have Planas and Oubina … but otherwise boost a healthy squad and can field a competitive lineup.

Real Madrid is coming after a sensational qualification over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, a game won by Chicharito’s late goal … and a game that will remain in the collective memory of the fans for a long time. It was not the best performance of Real, but they pulled it off and will come with great morale into this match. There is no time for celebration because Barcelona won on Saturday vs. Espanyol and now Real is again 4 points behind in the title race. Bale, Modric and Benzema are again unavailable for the visitors … but Marcelo comes back into the lineup. Ancelotti will field the same lineup that beat Atletico with the exceptions of Marcelo instead of Coentrao and Ramos returning from midfield to defense … so Varane will be on the bench and probably Illaramendi will come in.
Not often do you see Real having odds of 1.60 in La Liga against a mid table team. I think the price is too high … Celta is a good team and Real is coming after a tough match midweek, but visitors can not afford to put a wrong step here. Ancelotti will field the best available lineup and I think Real Madrid has the fitness level required to play this match at the highest level after subduing Atletico on Wednesday. I also believe that Real is better suited to take on Celta than Barcelona was … Celta is not a team to sit back and we know Real is one of the best teams in the world when they have spaces to work with … if not the best.
Celta Vigo won only 4 points at home from the last possible 12, so my tip will be Real Madrid to win at very good odds by the bookmakers. No handicaps … just straight and simple away win. Correct score prediction: Celta Vigo – Real Madrid 0-2.
