Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in 12 matches against Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo will embark on a tough trip to Madrid, where they are set to meet Atletico Madrid in a La Liga game this Saturday.

The two sides are on opposite ends of the league standings, Atletico being second and Celta Vigo 12th. Below we have a prediction for this match.

Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in 12 matches against Celta Vigo. They won each of the last seven meetings with Celta Vigo and here they will come as favorites again. Atletico are just a point behind league leaders Real Madrid in a tight title race.

A 1-1 draw with Real last time out halted their three-game winning run. At home, they are on a run of nine wins in 10 matches.

Celta Vigo aren’t coming into this game on a very strong footing but will be happy to have returned to winning ways. They beat Real Betis 3-2 in their last outing to snap a five-match winless run.

Celta Vigo will want to carry the same here, and win back-to-back league matches for the first time since August. That could meet resistance in the fact that the visitors have a poor run against Atletico Madrid.

In this fixture, Celta Vigo suffered nine defeats in the last 12 matches. Their away form further affirms their underdog status, being winless in seven La Liga matches on the road. They lost five of those.
