Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Valencia, Real Madrid will look to cement top position in the standings when they welcome Celta Vigo to their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Matchday 28. Los Blancos have been producing excellent displays at home this term and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to beat Os Celeste in the Spanish capital. Brahim Diaz is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while key midfielder Jude Bellingham misses out through suspension. All David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Galicians, on the other hand, were beaten by Real Madrid in each of the previous three meetings between the two sides at “Bernabeu” and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. As for the away side, all Mihailo Ristic, Renato Tapia, and Miguel Rodriguez are sidelined with injuries, while experienced attacker Iago Aspas is back from suspension.
