Celta Vigo approach this matchup with momentum.

They have won four consecutive games in all competitions and have climbed into La Liga’s top six.

Recent league victories over Mallorca (2-0) and Girona (2-1) helped the club move beyond a difficult stretch earlier in the season.

Those results also pushed Celta beyond the 40-point mark after 26 league matches for the first time since the 2015/16 campaign.

Although Celta have taken slightly more points away from home this season, recent results at Balaídos have been encouraging.

Twelve of their 17 home league points have come across the last five matches here (W4, L1), giving the Galician side a strong platform heading into this clash.

Real Madrid arrive after a 1-0 defeat to Getafe, a result that left them four points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona.

It also marked their first run of back-to-back league defeats since May 2019.

Away from home, Madrid had previously gone eight league matches unbeaten (W5, D3) before the recent 2-1 loss at Osasuna.

Celta already defeated Madrid earlier in the season, although historically this has been a difficult matchup for the hosts.

Prior to that victory, Madrid had won 11 straight head-to-head meetings and remain unbeaten in league visits to Balaídos since 2014 (W10, D2).

Celta are without Marcos Alonso, Pablo Durán and Carl Starfelt through injury.

Madrid travel without Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé, while Álvaro Carreras, Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono are suspended.

Given Celta’s current form and Madrid’s absences, the double chance on the hosts provides protection in a game that could remain close throughout.
