Atlético Madrid may have had some struggles at home recently, but their form on the road has been far more consistent, earning 10 points from a possible 15. In contrast, Celta Vigo have had a difficult time, losing seven of their last nine home games, and it’s clear why they haven’t performed as well.
In terms of goals, Celta Vigo’s home games in La Liga have often been high-scoring affairs, with 12 of their last 16 matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Similarly, Atlético Madrid’s recent away games have been exciting, with at least three goals scored in seven of their last eight outings.
Atlético Madrid have found it relatively easy to score when playing away, managing to hit the net 17 times in their last 18 trips. Given that Celta Vigo have scored in each of their last 10 home games in La Liga, it seems unlikely that either goalkeeper will keep a clean sheet in this match.
Prediction
Celta Vigo have adopted a more attacking style since their new manager took over, as reflected in the fact that 16 of their last 18 home games in La Liga have featured at least two goals. Similarly, 15 of Atlético Madrid’s last 20 away matches have also seen a minimum of two goals. Expect another high-scoring encounter here.
Prediction: Celta Vigo 1 : 3 Atlético Madrid
