Celta Vigo vs. Real Madrid Prediction, Pick
After two consecutive losses in La Liga, Real Madrid find themselves four points off the leaders Barcelona. Los Blancos will be disappointed in the two defeats, losing to opposition they normally beat in Osasuna and Getafe. They were in great form before that, winning eight consecutive league games.
Despite the recent results, they are still very much in the title race, and a win on Friday would close the gap to a point and put pressure on Barcelona ahead of their game away to Athletic Club on Saturday.
Despite a 2-0 loss in the reverse fixture earlier this season, Madrid have won four of the last five matches between these sides in all competitions. In fact, Los Blancos have only lost one game to Celta Vigo since 2017.
Real Madrid historically have the advantage, and have been the better team so far this season. They have 20 more points than their opposition, have scored 18 more goals and have conceded six fewer times.
I highly doubt they drop points in three straight league games, and Los Blancos will want to get three points on the board before a crucial Champions League match against Man City.
Expect Los Blancos to get back in the win column on Friday and put some pressure on Barcelona.
