Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: Crisis Hit Los Blancos Chase Title Lifeline vs European Aspirants

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: Crisis Hit Los Blancos Chase Title Lifeline vs European Aspirants

A Real Madrid side currently in crisis both on the pitch (injuries and bad form) and off the pitch (transfer noise and Ancelotti spectacle) return to La Liga action on Sunday, knowing that anything less than a win over Celta Vigo at the Bernabéu could all but end their La Liga title ambitions.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men are behind leaders Barcelona by four points, and with a huge clash against the Catalans looming, three points here are vital to keep the pressure on. Celta, however, are no pushovers, as they aim to solidify European qualification.

🔳Real Madrid Need Maximum Points to Stay in Title Race | Home Win = 1.38💵

Despite a difficult fortnight—being eliminated from Europe, losing the Copa del Rey final and practically all their defenders to injury—Madrid have kept their domestic title hopes alive with three straight 1-0 La Liga wins.

Los Blancos have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning each of their last nine league meetings with Celta. Their 2-1 win in Vigo earlier this season and January’s 5-2 extra time Copa thrashing underline their superiority.

Real Madrid Players line-up for team shoot before kick-off

With Barcelona expected to beat Valladolid, the gap could widen to seven points before kickoff. Madrid must respond with a strong performance at home, where they’ve been formidable all season, not forgetting that Celta recently played out a 4-3 thriller with Barca.

💠Celta Targeting Rare Bernabéu Win & European Stability | Away Win = 7.41💵

Celta Vigo Players Celebrating a Goal

Celta Vigo travel to Madrid full of belief after a stunning 3-0 win over Villarreal that lifted them to seventh in La Liga, putting them in position for a Europa League spot.

Claudio Giraldez’s side has impressed at home, but their away form tells a different story, where they were up 1-3 at a point, exposing defensive vulnerabilities.

Celta Vigo Players Celebrating a Goal

They haven’t won at the Bernabéu in La Liga since 2006 and are winless in their last 14 league clashes with Madrid, but their recent form suggests they won’t roll over without a fight.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Real Madrid are missing key defenders, with Militao, Mendy, Alaba, Rudiger, and Carvajal all sidelined. Camavinga is also out, meaning Tchouameni may fill in at centre-back alongside Raul Asencio.

Image from the last Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo clash

Vinicius Jr and Mbappé are fit, while Jude Bellingham is cleared to play after his red card was overturned. Rodrygo could be benched amid ongoing transfer speculation.

Celta remain without Carl Starfelt and could be missing El-Abdellaoui again. Ilaix Moriba may start in midfield, while Borja Iglesias leads the attack, flanked by Alfon and Fer Lopez.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 5.78💵

⚽ Real Madrid have won their last nine La Liga games against Celta and are on a three-match league winning streak. | Specials Market: Home & Over 2.5 = 1.66

⚽ Celta are unbeaten in four of their last six games, recording impressive results against Barca (4-3 L) and Villarreal (3-0 W). | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & Yes = 1.73
