After barely avoiding relegation in the past two campaigns, Celta Vigo are really pulling their weight to mount a challenge for top-half finish this term. Although largely troubled by inconsistency, it can be said that they have surpassed fair expectations this season.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will quickly turn their focus back to domestic action, following their match-winning display against Atalanta in the Champions League. Upon their return to the quarter-finals of Europe's elite competition, the La Liga champions will head into this fixture full of confidence.

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Team News

In their last league outing, Celta Vigo were held at home to a goalless stalemate by Athletic Bilbao. Despite bossing possession of the ball, Celta Vigo were unable to translate their sheer dominance into goals. While the first half saw both sides miss a number of chances, the second period was a dour affair, leading to a share of the spoils.

Having collected a total of 34 points from 27 league games so far this term, Celta Vigo are three points shy of their points tally for the entirety of last season. They currently sit in 10th-place on the league standings, level on points with Bilbao - albeit with a superior goal difference, they sit above Athletic Club.

Eduardo Coudet's side are just two points adrift 8th-placed Granada, while they are on a three-game undefeated streak, losing just once in their last eight league games. In spite of their achievement, the Argentinian coach will warn his side not to get ahead of themselves, as they approach the final stages of the campaign.

As earlier mentioned, Real Madrid secured progression into the last-eight stage of the Champions League after seeing off Atalanta in midweek. This victory came off the back of a 2-1 victory against Elche in the La Liga. After going a goal down to their visitors, Karim Benzema scored twice - once in stoppage time - to help Los Blancos steal all three points.

And the reigning champions will aim to clinch their third successive victory in all competitions when they travel Celta Vigo on Saturday. Having accrued a sum of 57 points from 27 league games, Madrid presently sit in third-place, as they continue to mount a little amount of pressure on league leaders Atletico Madrid.

After discovering English champions Liverpool to be their opponents in the Champions League quarter-finals, Zinedine Zidane's side will be aware of the challenge on the horizon, as their chase of silverware this term becomes more intense.

Celta Vigo were on the losing end in the reverse fixture earlier in January. Although Os Celestes were quite impressive in this contest, goals at pivotal moments secured the victory for Real Madrid.

Celta vs Real Madrid Predictions

Celta Vigo possess the threat to hurt any side, as shown in their 2-2 stalemate against Atletico Madrid last month. Unbeaten in their last four home games, and with six of their eight league wins this term coming at their ground, it goes without saying that Celta Vigo are more comfortable on their turf than anywhere else.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last eight away games, losing on the road just once so far this term. There are pointers that Celta Vigo will trouble this inconsistent Madrid side, but we expect the club from the capital to do just enough to pick up maximum points.
