Celta Vigo form & record check
Celta Vigo enter the upcoming La Liga clash against Real Madrid in mixed form, with their last ten games providing a clear indication of their strengths and weaknesses. Currently sitting in 9th place in the table, coach Claudio Giráldez’s side picked up a narrow 1-0 away win over Las Palmas, with Iago Aspas receiving a red card. Aspas is out of action through injury, which will further affect Celta Vigo’s offensive capabilities.
Mixed form
Celta have had mixed results in their last few outings, drawing 1-1 at Girona in a hard-fought draw and then losing 1-0 to Atlético Madrid, when the Galicians lacked cutting power. They also showed defensive frailties in the 3-1 defeat at Athletic Bilbao. On the other hand, impressive victories such as the 3-1 over Valladolid proved their ability to win at home.
With the offensive line of Borja Iglesias, a reliable scorer, the team at least remains capable of creating chances, even if they were often endangered by defensive lapses. Claudio Giráldez recently renewed his contract until 2027, ensuring him the backing of the club to develop a coherent long-term strategy. But their high-scoring matches, win or lose, highlight the need to shore up their defense and improve their efficiency in attack, especially against a giant like Real Madrid. The upcoming fixture could serve as a litmus test for Giráldez’s ambitions at Celta.

Real Madrid Form & Record Check
Real Madrid are currently in solid form as Carlo Ancelotti’s team prepare for the upcoming La Liga match against Celta Vigo. After their recent 2-0 win against Villarreal, in which Fede Valverde and Vinícius Júnior scored, Madrid proved that they are difficult to beat at the Santiago Bernabéu. Nevertheless, the team only just managed to beat Alaves 3-2, showing weaknesses in defense that Coach Ancelotti still needs to address.
Staying on top?
In the European arena, the narrow 1-0 defeat to Lille was a setback and revealed difficulties in finishing, despite the dominant possession phases of the Whites. However, with a total of four wins and a draw in their last five league games, including a convincing performance against Espanyol (4-1), the team is also showing that they are solid at home. Kylian Mbappé, in particular, is in top form, although he was unable to score against Lille. Federico Valverde’s impressive passing accuracy continues to bolster Madrid’s offensive play.
The Whites are expected to consolidate their second place in La Liga against Celta Vigo. The focus will be on maintaining their consistent form, while rumors of strengthening the squad at the back are circulating, especially in the defensive positions, where Carvajal was recently seriously injured.
