Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
With all sorts of good intentions, both Celta Vigo and Real Madrid are entering the new 2019/20 season. Both clubs have a lot to make up for. The Célticos escaped as Table-17. The preseason was only just short of relegation, as stood at the proud Madrilenians at the end of 19 points behind Barcelona and eight counters on city rivals Atlético on record.
All the greater is the desire of the 13-time Champions League winner to regain national supremacy after the disaster season with twelve defeats in La Liga alone. Success is under successful coach Zinedine Zidane, who won the premier class three times in a row with the White Ballet between 2016 and 2018 and also became champion in 2017, before neither Julen Lopetegui nor Santiago Solari could step into his broader footsteps last season.
Of course, Celta Vigo is against Real Madrid in the odds of bookmakers in the role of the outsider, although the pressure is certainly on the part of Blancos. After poor preparation, the white ballet finally needs good results as soon as possible.
Anything but a clear opening win against an opponent who had fallen by a hair last season would certainly cause further unrest, so this starting position at Celta Vigo against Real Madrid for the forecast certainly plays a role.
In the end we believe that Zinedine Zidane gets exactly the right buttons at the beginning of the season and the Galactics deliver the result.
Celta Vigo:
On March 4, 2019 Fran Escribá took over the coaching company at Celta Vigo, after predecessor Miguel Cardoso after the 0-1 defeat at Eibar at the door was set. Although the Celts lost their subsequent home game against Betis Sevilla 0-1 and thus slipped on a direct relegation zone, on the remaining eleven matchdays Escribá, however, brought four wins and four draws, which ultimately reached the whereabouts of La Liga.
Actually, the club, which had stormed the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League in 2016/17, wanted to orientate themselves again for the 2019/20 season. In the transfer market, however, it stagnated massively. Striker star Maxi Gómez went to Valencia, of which in exchange for Santi Mina a strong man came, but injured at least the first two games will still miss.
With the departure of Emre Mo and Mathias Jensen and the loan end of Sofiane Boufal and Ryad Boudebouz also four more offensive players are no longer part of the Celestes, so that the Galicians currently have no alternatives in the game forward, which Fran Escribá also on Edge of the 1: 2-Testspielpleite against Lazio Rome criticized last Saturday.
The dress rehearsal at the Abanca Balaídos Stadium was already quite off the mark. Ironically, now that Santi Mina and David Juncà and captain Hugo Mallo have been injured, a Real Madrid is also making a stop-off in the northwest of the country.
Although the Galicier reported during the week nor a loan with purchase option of Pape Cheikh, who returns after two years at Olympique Lyon in the northwest of Spain. The fact that the 22-year-old will be an option against the Merengues is unlikely. Not surprisingly so that Celta Vigo against Real Madrid goes according to odds as a blatant outsider in the first league game of the season 2019/20.
Nevertheless, the not to be despised advantage remains that the Célticos in the match against the Spanish champions have only limited to lose something. Almost everyone expects a home defeat to kick off. So the Galicians can only surprise in a positive way, but with Real, Valencia and Sevilla they could hardly have chosen a heavier program on the first three matchdays.
Real Madrid :
The fact that Real Madrid were unable to defend the championship in the 2017/18 season, with Barcelona and Atlético only finishing third in the final table, was not worth mentioning. Finally, Zinedine Zidane won the UEFA Champions League for the third consecutive time just a few days after the end of the season – title # 13 for the premier record winner.
That the Royal but landed only in third place in the 2018/19 season again, conceded twelve losses in league play and also failed in the Champions League in the second round to Ajax Amsterdam, made sure that now a huge change was initiated.
With Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo in just five stars more than 300 million euros were invested alone in transfer fees. And that, while for the innumerable players on the shooting list like Gareth Bale or James Rodriguez still no customer found.
The financial burden of the Spanish record champion is thus almost overwhelming, which is why in the 2019/20 season definitely something countable has to jump out. It is all the more unfavorable that the discussions in the environment of the Merengues of these days do not break off.
Not only successful coach Zinedine Zidane is criticized after winning only 35.7% of his games since returning in March 2019. Also in the preparation for the new season was almost no match result.
Only Red Bull Salzburg were beaten 1-0 without conceding. For it sat down among other things against the FC Bayern Munich (1: 3) and city rivals Atlético Madrid (3: 7) painful defeats against clubs, which one would have to leave again in the season 2019/20 in the Champions League, again after to be able to reach the stars.
Nevertheless, the Blancos have the great opportunity to silence all critical voices in one fell swoop with away win at replacement-weakened Célticos at the season opener. And that’s exactly what Celta Vigo is about. Real Madrid definitely worth a hint, although Zidane has to make a first alteration at least in the first game of the season. Denis Carvajal is out with the Celestes due to a card on the last matchday of the preseason.
