Tipster’s Angle

Despite Atletico Madrid dominating this fixture, Celta Vigo are in good shape and are winning their matches heading to this clash. The defense of these two teams is not that great, so we could see goals at both ends as well.

Tip: Celta Vigo To Win or Draw @ 1.85

Celta Vigo has been in excellent form recently as they have just lost one match in their last eight matches across competitions. They are unbeaten in the club friendlies that they have played recently including three wins and a draw. While Atletico Madrid have lost three of the five club-friendly matches that they have played. They are coming into this fixture with a two-match losing streak. In the last three head to head matches, Atletico just won one match while the other two matches ended in a draw. So, it is likely that Celta Vigo could pull off a win or a draw here against Atletico at 1.85 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.95

In the last eight matches that Celta Vigo has played across competitions, they have scored a goal in seven of those matches. While Atletico Madrid have scored in nine of their last ten matches across competitions. Both teams scored in all the last three matches that Atletico Madrid played in La Liga last season. Celta on the other hand have seen both teams scoring in three of the last four matches that they have played in La Liga. So, it is likely that both teams will find the back of the net at 1.95 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

With Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona, Real Madrid are now the favorites to win the La Liga silverware. But it’s too early to talk about the championship as the season hasn’t begun yet. Real Madrid will be looking to start off in a positive fashion in the quest to regain their crown.
