Celta Vigo
SpainCurrent form
Celta Vigo are preparing for a tough away match against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Despite some disappointments in the league, including a recent 1-2 defeat to Rayo Vallecano, Claudio Giraldes' team has shown fighting spirit in cup matches. In the previous round of the Copa del Rey, Celta narrowly beat Racing Santander 3-2, which is evidence of the team tough play and willpower.
After 19 La Liga games, Celta are 12th with 24 points, far from their ambitions. Defensive problems and inconsistent away performances remain the team’s biggest obstacles. Celta often struggle against top opposition, especially away from home, where they are conceding an average of 2.4 goals per game and have only won one of their eight away games. Away form remains the biggest problem for Celta, who are looking to end their losing streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jailson (thigh injury) is out, Javier Manquillo (muscle injury) and Manu Ristic (knee injury) also remains out, reducing the team defensive options.
Interesting trends for betting
- Three of Celta last five matches have seen more than 2.5 goals scored, highlighting their propensity for scoring.
- The team have conceded the first goal in five of their last seven away games, which could be key against Real potent attack.
- There have been at least eight corner kicks in Celta last six matches, highlighting the team action-packed games and attacking potential.
Estimated lineup: Villar - Mingueza, Sverberg, Dominguez - Moriba, Beltran, Rodriguez - Solis, Aspas, Iglesias

Celta Vigo, despite the recent defeat in the championship to Rayo Vallecano with a score of 1:2, have significant attacking potential.

Celta regularly score in their matches, as demonstrated by their 3-2 victory over Racing Santander in the previous round of the Copa del Rey.
