Celta Vigo vs Atl. Madrid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-10-04 19:00.
[p]Free-scoring AtlĂ©tico Madrid head to struggling Celta Vigo looking to build on some formidable recent form at BalaĂdos.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Going into this round, Celta Vigo were one of only two teams yet to win a La Liga game this term (D5, L2). A 2-1 defeat to Elche last weekend was their latest disappointment, with that result marking just the third occasion in history they’ve been winless after seven top-flight games and the first time since 1982/83. That was a season in which they were relegated, so a league win can’t come quickly enough for Los Celestes, who haven’t been relegated out of La Liga since 2006/07. Their 3-1 victory over PAOK in midweek UEFA Europa League action should at least boost morale, but without a win in five home league games (D3, L2), Claudio Giráldez’s side still have plenty to prove.[/p]
[p]Atlético have left their slow start to the La Liga campaign behind by winning three of their last four league games (D1), including a remarkable 5-2 triumph over Real Madrid last Saturday, which they followed up with a 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Tuesday. Antoine Griezmann became the first player to net 200 goals for the club during that game and Los Colchoneros could do with him being at his prolific best again here as they’re without a competitive away win this term (D2, L2) despite opening the scoring in all three La Liga games within that run![/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Atlético are unbeaten across the last 13 H2Hs (W9, D4), which includes a club-record five consecutive league wins here, four of them without conceding. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Celta have scored exactly once in each of their last six league games (D5, L1).[/p]
[p]Celta haven’t scored a first-half home goal in La Liga this term.[/p]
[p]After matchday seven, Atlético were league leaders in goals scored in the first 15 minutes, with five.[/p]
[p]Six of Atlético’s last seven La Liga games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Iago Aspas scored Celta’s first goal against PAOK and has six career goal contributions against Atlético (G3, A3), including opening the scoring in the most recent H2H (D 1-1). Griezmann reached his history-making milestone for Atlético by scoring in both of his last two appearances while four of his last six club goals came in either first or second-half injury time.[/p]
[p]Celta defender Javi Rueda picked up an injury against PAOK on Thursday. Alexander Sørloth missed Atlético’s match against Frankfurt but could return here.[/p]
