Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After surving Elche in their last league match, Real Madrid will be looking to stay in the title race when they take on Celta Vigo on Matchday 28. Karim Benzema once again saved Zinedine Zidane’s troops, and, no doubt, all eyes will be on the French attacker when Real Madrid and Celta Vigo take on each other at Estadio de Balaidos. Sergio Ramos has overcome his injury, while Eden Hazard, Mariano, and Dani Carvajal remain in the recovery room. Casemiro returns to the starting XI following the Champions League ban.
Os Celeste, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the 2020/21 La Liga season, with the team sitting in the tenth position in the standings. The Galicians failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Athletic Club, and seeing that they are on a four-match unbeaten run at home, we predict that they are going to grab something from Saturday’s clash. Hugo Mallo returns from suspension, while Sergio Alvarez, Ruben Blanco, and Emre Mor are all out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Nolito):
Widely known as Nolito, Manuel Agudo Durán is a Spanish forward born on 15 October 1986 in Sanlucar de Barrameda, who has had an unconventional path to stardom. The highly rated footballer did not go through Barcelona’s famous La Masia youth academy, but he rather joined the B side in 2008 and went on to show a great deal of potential.
Nolito also made a couple of performances for the senior side, but ultimately left for Benfica in an attempt to secure regular playing time. That proved an excellent decision as the winger produced some scintillating showings at Estadio da Luz, and following a loan spell with Granada, he returned to La Liga to sign for Celta Vigo. During his time at Balaidos, Nolito developed into one of league’s leading footballers, usually playing on the left wing and wreaking havoc after cutting inside.
The experienced footballer scored almost 40 league goals in first 100 appearances for the Sky Blues, while also breaking into the Spain national team, and despite making his La Furia Roja debut at the age of 28, he quickly became an important player for the side.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
