Real Madrid face Celta Vigo: Preview, Team News and Predictions




Real Madrid will be looking to continue their winning start to the season when they host Celta Vigo at the Bernabéu on Sunday evening. The reigning champions have won both of their opening games in La Liga, while Celta have drawn one and lost one.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is likely to make several changes to the team that started in the Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday. David Alaba is suspended, so Antonio Rüdiger is expected to start at centre-back alongside Éder Militão. Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos could be rested in midfield, with Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni coming in.

Celta Vigo coach Eduardo Coudet is also likely to make changes to the team that started in the 1-0 defeat to Espanyol last weekend. Iago Aspas is expected to return to the starting line-up after being rested in midweek, while Denis Suárez could also come into the team.

Real Madrid will be confident of victory against Celta Vigo, but the visitors will be no pushovers. They have a good record against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, and they will be looking to cause an upset.
