Atlético Madrid - Celta de Vigo predictions

Atlético Madrid are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.44, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Atletico and the 7.71 odds given to Celta de Vigo to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

In a surprising turn of events, Los Rojiblancos took the lead in the early stages of their previous La Liga match at Real Madrid . The lead withered away into a 1:1 draw in the second half - which still counts as a moderate success considering the overwhelming odds they were up against.

Celta are coming on the back of a 3:2 home victory against Real Betis in the previous round. Still, their performance in that match was somewhat unconvincing, especially after their opponents took the lead in the first half.

Whether they’re playing home or away, Atletico Madrid games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

As this year’s season trudges on, the competition at the top of the table is heating up. Los Rojiblancos are 1 point behind the current leaders, giving them plenty of motivation to secure 3 points in this favourable matchup.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.44 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Atletico won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

On Saturday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

The 1xbet sportsbook is offering 1 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
