Kick-off: 21:00 CET | Competition: La Liga, Matchday 13.
Recent Team Form
Real Madrid
Madrid sit second in La Liga with 30 points from 12 matches, having won ten and lost just twice.
Their latest five competitive matches have all ended in victories.
They defeated RB Leipzig 4-1 in the Champions League on 21 October before securing a 2-1 victory against Barcelona four days later.
November brought three more wins: 3-0 against Racing Santander, 3-2 away to AEK Athens and 3-0 at Valencia on 7 November.
That’s 15 goals scored across five matches, with two clean sheets in their last three appearances.
Madrid have also scored 31 goals in 12 league fixtures, an average of 2.58 per match.
Celta Vigo
Celta occupy 11th position with 13 points from 12 league matches.
Their recent performances have been disappointing. Across their previous five competitive fixtures, they have recorded one victory, two draws and two defeats.
A 2-1 Europa League victory away to Celtic on 22 October was followed by a goalless draw against Real Betis.
Celta then suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against Rayo Vallecano and lost 2-1 at home to Union Saint-Gilloise.
Their latest appearance ended 0-0 against Levante on 8 November.
Celta have scored only ten league goals this season, although conceding ten suggests their defensive record is considerably stronger than their attacking output.
Tactical Analysis
Madrid’s biggest advantage should come from their movement between midfield and attack.
Kylian Mbappé offers direct running behind defensive lines, while Jude Bellingham provides an additional threat through late arrivals into the penalty area.
Celta are likely to defend with three central defenders, using wing-backs to protect the wide areas.
However, maintaining that structure against Madrid’s quick combinations will be difficult.
The hosts should attempt to isolate defenders in one-on-one situations before exploiting space around the penalty box.
Celta’s best opportunities may come from quick counterattacks, particularly when Madrid’s full-backs advance.
Team selection could influence the contest. Rodrygo and Raúl Asencio remain sidelined, while Celta have concerns involving Borja Iglesias, Álvaro Núñez and Carl Starfelt.
For readers comparing bästa fotbollstips idag, Madrid’s attacking depth makes their team-goals market particularly appealing.
Head-to-Head
Real Madrid won the most recent meeting 2-1 at Balaídos in March 2026.
However, Celta produced a surprise 2-0 victory at the Bernabéu in December 2025.
Madrid had previously won 3-2 at home in May 2025.
Those results demonstrate that Celta can trouble Madrid, although the visitors’ current attacking form makes another away victory considerably harder to imagine.
