Our Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction Sees Los Blancos Bounce Back from Barca Defeat

Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid are in Copa del Rey action in midweek, welcoming Celta Vigo to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. After emphatically losing the Spanish Super Cup final to rivals Barcelona last time out, Los Blancos will be desperate to bounce back with a win.

Copa del Rey Betting Picks:

Real Madrid to Win -2 – 2.37

Real Madrid to Score Over 3.5 Goals – 3.40

Bet on Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo

Will Real Book Their Spot in the Last Eight?

Real Madrid are trading places with Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga. Atleti moved back to the summit last weekend, but Real are just a point behind in second. Overall, the champions have won 13, drawn four, and lost two in the league.  

Celta Vigo are mid-table in La Liga, collecting 24 points from 19 games. Claudio Giraldez’s boys have won seven, drawn three, and lost nine. They have won four of their last six, with two of those victories coming in the cup.

Los Merengues started their Copa del Rey campaign with a huge 5-0 away win. They were far too strong for Deportivo Minera, with Arda Guler (2), Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, and Luka Modric netting in the rout.

After the humiliating 5-2 loss to Barca in the final of the Spanish Super Cup last weekend, Real will be eager to get back to winning ways here. As expected, Ancelotti’s superstars are the red-hot favourites.

Recent Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Head-to-Head Meetings

Real Madrid picked up a narrow victory in the league meeting in Vigo in October. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring, but Celta levelled thanks to Williot Swedberg’s strike. Vinicius Junior hit the winner in the 66th minute.

Real have an excellent recent record in this fixture, winning the last nine meetings. Vigo have not beaten the Madrid giants since 2017. Over a decade has passed since Celta’s last league triumph.
