The Spanish La Liga season continues on Thursday 26th September 2024 as Celta Vigo host Atletico Madrid in what is sure to be a close fixture.
This game will certainly be a close fixture. Celta Vigo normally tend to play very well at home - even against tougher opposition. However Diego Simeone has set Atletico up for success and right now they look unbeatable.
It will surely be a must watch fixture.
Predicted Lineup - Ivan Villar, Jailson, Carl Starfelt, Javi Rodriguez, Marcos Alonso, Iliax Moriba, Fran Beltran, Sergio Carreira, Iago Aspas, Williot Swedberg, Borja Igelsias
Celta Vigo have had a decent start to the season. They currently sit 9th in the table having picked up nine points thus far. In fact they have scored 14 goals so far in the league - this the second most in the league only behind Barcelona.
Not only this but they have made their home stadium, Estadio de Balaídos, quite the fortress. They haven’t lost there since February where they were beaten by Barcelona. Can they continue that here?
Predicted Lineup - Jan Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Jose Gimenez, Robin La Normand, Samuel Lino, Conor Gallagher, Rodrigo De Paul, Antoine Griezmann, Nahuel Molina, Angel Correa, Alexander Sorloth
Atletico Madrid are a very strong side - as proven by their top performances season after season. And Simeone has carried that into this season as well where they sit 4th in the league with 12 points. Just two off of second placed Real Madrid and unbeaten.
Their defensive style of play has seemingly continued to work wonders as they have conceded just three goals this season - the joint least in the league.
These two sides have faced one another on 50 occasions competitively so far in their histories.
It is Atletico that hold the advantage having won 28 of those games to Celta Vigo’s eleven wins and eleven draws.
In fact Celta Vigo haven’t beaten Simeone’s side since September 2018. This a run of eleven games unbeaten for Atletico Madrid. Will that change here?

(Odds subject to change)
Celta Vigo 0-3 Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid will be too strong for this Celta Vigo side who struggle to beat Atletico on the best of days as it is. Their defensive stability and ability to put the ball in the back of the net mean that I would expect them to come away with another clean sheet.
A solid victory for Simeone’s men.
