Real Madrid take on Celta Vigo this Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu in a critical La Liga fixture, with both clubs having experienced a decidedly mixed week of results. Los Blancos managed to snap a worrying winless streak in the league with a commanding 3-0 victory away to Athletic Club on Wednesday, a performance that coach Xabi Alonso lauded as perhaps their most complete of the season.
This result was vital, following a slightly shaky 1-1 draw against Girona just three days prior, where they looked disjointed in key phases of the game. The emphatic performance in Bilbao showed a renewed intensity, suggesting the team has refocused their efforts on maintaining the pressure at the top of the table.
In stark contrast, Celta Vigo has struggled to find consistent footing, entering this match following a grueling stretch of games that underscored their depth issues. Their domestic form took a hit last weekend with a narrow 0-1 home loss to Espanyol, a result that prevented them from climbing into the top half of the table.
The midweek saw them travel to face Sant Andreu in the Copa del Rey, where they were pushed to the limit, requiring extra time and a tense 7-6 penalty shootout victory to secure their passage. While a win is a win, being stretched that far against lower-division opposition just days before facing the reigning champions at their home fortress is a significant concern regarding player fatigue and preparation.

Our Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Kylian Mbappé has been the undisputed story of the week for the home side, bagging a brace and an assist in the dismantling of Athletic. His current form is scintillating—seven goals in his last three appearances across all competitions—making him the key threat Celta's backline must neutralize. However, the victory came at a massive cost, as Real
Madrid suffered two potentially long-term injuries: right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold went off with a thigh injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for around two months, and the influential midfielder Eduardo Camavinga also exited with a worrying ankle problem, making his participation on Sunday extremely questionable. The absence of both Dani Carvajal and Alexander-Arnold forces a significant defensive reshuffle.
For the visitors, the demanding schedule and a rash of doubts across the squad present major selection headaches. Key players like Óscar Mingueza, Fran Beltran, and Carl Starfelt are all reportedly dealing with various issues, which severely impacts their ability to field a first-choice line-up capable of containing Madrid's attack. From a betting perspective, the trajectory of both teams this week, coupled with the Bernabéu factor, heavily favors the hosts. Real Madrid's potent attack, spearheaded by the in-form Mbappé, is expected to overwhelm a Celta side that appeared weary in midweek and is battling a significant injury list. The odds reflect a heavy upper hand for Real Madrid, with a multi-goal margin of victory being the most likely scenario. Our prediction for Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo: Over 3.5 goals.
