The hosts have a decent scoring average and a passable defensive side. Regarding strengths, Celta Vigo has a strong work rate, which might earn a handful of goals. But their chance against Real Madrid is uncertain.

Real Madrid’s Form

Real Madrid recently had a devastating home loss against Getafe. This loss is a considerable setback, making them question their tactics. But they have one of the elite forms in this season. Their offense boasts excellent strikers like Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo. Although they had a recent loss, their chance of winning is still strong against Celta Vigo.

Barcelona’s Form

Barcelona has kept its consistency intact despite occasional setbacks. They recently won with Lamine Yamal’s hat-trick. In terms of form, Barcelona undoubtedly has the best squad. Players like Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Marcus Rashford, and Pedri make an unstoppable attacking side. Therefore, Barcelona has a clear chance of winning.

The Pick: Barcelona.
