Real Madrid v Celta Vigo: Prediction

Real Madrid v Celta Vigo: Betting Tips

A price of 2/9 is a sign of how easily Real Madrid are expected to win this game, with Celta Vigo available to back at whopping odds of 13/1 and the draw on offer at a price of 6/1.

As Real Madrid have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 12 of their last 13 home matches in La Liga, Zidane's men to be on top at the break and the end of the game stands out as a good price at 7/10. Asensio is also worth considering at 7/4 on the any time goalscorer market.

A 3-0 win at Real Sociedad provided Real Madrid with a great start to the new La Liga season, extending their streak of successes in the league to a very impressive 13 in a row.

Marco Asensio scored in that game and the young midfielder looks set to be a key man for Madrid this season, especially as Luka Modric is not fully fit yet. Keylor Navas is still out so Kiko Casilla will continue in goal, while Karim Benzema is a doubt with a groin injury and Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe are being eased back into action after their exploits at this summer's Euro 2016.

Real Madrid likely XI:

A 1-0 defeat at home to Leganes represented a poor start to the campaign for Celta Vigo, who are without one of their star men from last season, Nolito, after he joined Manchester City. Coach Eduardo Berizzo is unlikely to make many changes to his team this early in the season, however.

Celta Vigo likely XI:

Celta Vigo were one of the surprise packages in La Liga last season but the loss of Nolito has hit them hard and they will do well to finish in the top half this year. They are unlikely to cause too many problems for Zidane\'s men here, with a comfortable home win on the cards. Real Madrid should triumph by a few clear goals to continue their fine run of league wins.

Real Madrid have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 12 of their last 13 home matches in La Liga.
