Celta vs Atletico. Predictions and Betting Tips for La Liga

Previous season finally brought some improvement in Celta's performance. After a terrible season, in which team barely avoided relegation, Celta had a slow start, but eventually finished on the eight position in the standings. 

It became possible because of Eduardo Coudet, who arrived to the team during the previous autumn. In 38 rounds Sky Blues recorded 14 victories and 11 draws, which brought 53 points and a place in Top-10. At the finish Celts recorded an unexpected victory over Barcelona (2:1) and then, in the ultimate match of the season were beaten by Betis at home (2:3).

Team signed Javi Galan from Huesca for 4 million euros, Franco Cervi from Benfica for 4 million euros. Team also loaned Matias Dituro from Universidad Catolica.

11-time champion and 10-time Spanish Cup holder in the previous season put up a fantastic performance and claimed the La Liga title. Defensive strategy worked perfectly once again, but we should note that Diego Simeone's team had the second best offensive record in the league. 

Team recorded 26 victories and eight draws, which brought 86 points, it was enough to win the trophy. In last three rounds The Mattress Makersbeat Real Sociedad (2:1), Osasuna (2:1) and Valladolid (2:1). 

In this summer Ibanez and Vitolo left the capital team. A former Fluminense player, Marcos Paulo, was signed as a free agent. Rodrigo De Paul from Udinese became the most expensive signing, he was bought by Red-Whites for a fee of €35M.

Joao Felix, Paulo and Felipe, who has a knee injury, won't be able to play in this game.
