Prediction: 1-2
Atletico Madrid
Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid square off against each other at Estadio de Balaidos in the closing match of the La Liga round 7. Os Celeste are a team with two faces, with the team producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the travels. The Galicians have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against los Rojiblancos. As important defender Oscar Mingueza suffered an injury in a 3-1 loss at Athletic Club, home win should not be considered.
Diego Simeone’s men, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into goals in a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. As Atletico Madrid have defeated Celta Vigo in each of their last six meetings in the Spanish top flight, there is a big value in betting on Antoine Griezmann and Co. Speaking of Griezmann, the French ace returns to the starting XI, while Rodrigo De Paul should recover in time to face Celta.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
