Prediction: 1-2
Real Madrid
Estadio de Balaidos will be the center of attention when Celta Vigo and Real Madrid lock horns in the La Liga round 3. Os Celeste are eyeing their first win of the season and their performance in a 1-1 draw with Champions League hopefuls Real Sociedad is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s clash. There are no fresh injury concerns in the Galician team, but Ghana defender Josep Aidoo could be recalled to the starting XI following his fine display against La Real.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact and seeing that Celta suit them, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title-chasing capital club. You should know that Real Madrid emerged triumphant in each of their last six encounters with Celta Vigo in the Spanish top light. Both Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga are pushing for a start, while the likes of Eder Militao, Daniel Ceballos, Thibaut Courtois, and Ferland Mendy remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
