Real Madrid vs Celta de Vigo - Match Preview
00:01
It's a big game for:
Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese international is currently off colour and has been criticised by the Bernabeu fans. He would be looking to prove everyone wrong by guiding Real into the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey Cup.
Best stat:
4. Celta de Vigo has won the last 4 league matches, excluding Copa Del Rey, and will be looking to win the 5 in overall competitions as they again hold the home advantage and away goals.
Remember when:
On 19th of January 2017, Celta de Vigo surprisingly, against all the odds, defeated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium 2-1 in the 1st leg of Copa Del Rey quarter-finals. Real will be looking for a revenge and also book a place in the semi-finals.
Player to watch:
Iago Aspas. Yes, again the Galicia international will be the 'player to watch' because of his long-distance shooting, the layoffs, counter attack threats. All this describes him the best and that's his playing style. So without Marcelo and Carvajal, both wing-backs, Real will have a problem in controlling Aspas.
Previous meetings:
Real Madrid 1 (Marcelo) - Celta de Vigo 2 (Aspas, Castro). January 2017.
Real Madrid 2 (Morata, Kroos) - Celta de Vigo 1 (Orellano). August 2016.
Real Madrid 7 (C.Ronaldo 4, Pepe, Bale, Jese) - Celta de Vigo 1 (Aspas). March 2016.
Form guide:
Real Madrid: WLLDW.
Celta de Vigo: LWWWW.
Match odds:
Real Madrid win: 11/17
Celta de Vigo win: 43/10
Draw: 62/17
Real are still the favourites, for me, but with Marcelo, Carvajal, Bale and Modric all left out of the squad due to injuries Real might have to score on every opportunity. On the other side, Celta who will be playing on their home ground will also have the fan support and all, but let's see who wins.
