Real Madrid aims to secure consecutive wins in La Liga as they face Celta Vigo at the Estadio Municipal de Balaidos.
Celta Vigo has been entertaining in La Liga this season, recording four wins, one draw, and four losses for a total of 13 points, placing them ninth in the standings. They've scored 16 goals, ranking behind only Barcelona (28), Real Madrid (19), and Villarreal (17), but their defensive record is a concern, with 15 goals conceded—the joint-third worst in the league.
Celta headed into the October international break on a high note, securing a 1-0 win against Las Palmas, thanks to Borja Iglesias' goal in the 28th minute. At home, they boast the third-best record in La Liga, having earned 10 points from five matches. However, they face a tough challenge against Real Madrid, who have only managed one away win in four league games this season.
Celta has struggled against Madrid, losing their last eight league encounters, with their last victory over Los Blancos coming over a decade ago. Despite not being in top form, Real Madrid sits second in the La Liga table, just three points behind leaders Barcelona ahead of next weekend's El Clasico.
They've triumphed in their last three matches against Celta without conceding, but Madrid's away form this season has been shaky, with draws against Mallorca, Las Palmas, and Atletico. Some speculate that Kylian Mbappé's addition has disrupted team balance, yet he has scored five goals in eight league appearances, alongside Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, who each have three goals this season.
