Atl. Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting Tips (12 May)

As is often the case, Atlético shows its teeth in the race for the Champions League but it still disappoints. So yes, Barcelona and Real Madrid often fight for the title but the Colchoneros should be real competitors for La Liga and they have never demonstrated it this season. 4th at the start of this day, Atléti went completely through in the Copa del Rey elimination by the future winner in the semi-final, Bilbao: 0-4 in the 2 matches and it is left behind by the top 3 in the championship. The Cholo men, on the other hand, won a crucial match to practically validate their ticket for the next UEFA Champions League, when they defeated Athletic Bilbao two weeks ago 3-1. Last weekend, they went for a second successive victory in La Liga, on the pitch of Mallorca 0-1.

Opposite, we find Celta Vigo who, like last year, find themselves engaged in the fight for the maintenance but Iago Aspas and his teammates have clearly passed the second by taking no less than 8 lengths ahead of Cadiz first relegation. Furthermore, the Andalusians will have played earlier in the afternoon and in the event of a misstep by the latter, the Galicians would only be one point away from remaining. Los Celticos have won 2 of their last 3 days in La Liga, against Las Palmas at home 4-1 and last weekend against Villarreal, notably helped by the red of Santi Comesana at just under half an hour game 3-2. In the meantime, they still lost heavily on the field of Deportivo Alavés 3-0.

In terms of good news, number 7 and vice-captain of the France team Antoine Griezmann (13 goals, 6 assists) will be back from suspension after serving it against Mallorca. However, his French compatriot Thomas Lemar remains on the sidelines. We can also note that the Argentinian world champion Molina is still with the medical staff (thigh muscle injury).

Alvaro Morata (14 goals in the league), Angel Correa (9 goals, 2 goals) and the only scorer against Mallorca, Rodrigo Riquelme (3 goals, 5 assists), will be present.
