Celta Vigo, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Real Sociedad in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Celta Vigo last time out. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Real Sociedad who had 11 attempts and 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Real Madrid, Recent FormHaving secured a 3-1 away win against Almeria in their latest league match, Real Madrid will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They came away from that fixture with a 56% share of the possession and clocked up 24 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Almeria, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Rodrygo Silva da Goes will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Real Madrid.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Real Madrid running out winners in a match that ended 2-0.
Los Blancos will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Celta, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 18 meetings between the two. In their recent meetings Real Madrid have had no problem breaking down Os Celestes' defence, having found the back of the net 16 times in their last 5 games.
Real Madrid will be looking to continue their winning streak against Celta, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 18 meetings.
With only Gonçalo Paciência (Muscle) and Carles Pérez (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rafael Benítez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Carlo Ancelotti has a number of injury concerns in his Real Madrid squad to contend with: Dani Ceballos (Muscle), Thibaut Courtois (Cruciate ligament), Arda Güler (Meniscus), Ferland Mendy (Muscle) and Éder Militão (Cruciate ligament)
