Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-12-06 20:00.
[p]Real Madrid continue their pursuit of La Liga leaders Barcelona by welcoming Celta Vigo to the Bernabéu, with the visitors looking to extend their own impressive run of away form.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Real Madrid ended their sequence of three consecutive La Liga draws in emphatic fashion by thrashing Athletic Club 3-0 on Wednesday night, with only injuries to Trent Alexander-Arnold and Eduardo Camavinga putting a dampener on proceedings. Los Blancos start the round one point behind arch-rivals Barcelona and are unbeaten in eight league fixtures (W5, D3) so confidence is building as they head into the festive period, particularly as Xabi Alonso’s side have also won their last ten home league games, scoring 2+ goals in each of the last five.[/p]
[p]Celta Vigo alternated between wins and defeats in La Liga during November (W2, L2), ending the last round just inside the bottom half after conceding late to lose 1-0 to Espanyol. It’s been a curious campaign for the Sky Blues as they’re still searching for their first home league win of the season and have drawn exactly half of their league games (seven) by the same 1-1 scoreline! Their away league record is far more impressive (W3, D2, L1) and for the first time since a run between December 2017 and January 2018, they’ve won three consecutive La Liga away fixtures.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Madrid have won the last 11 H2Hs and are unbeaten against Celta since January 2017 (W16, D3). Celta haven’t won an away league meeting since November 2006 (D1, L12).[/p]
