Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting Tips (7 December)

Traveling to the San Mamés of Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday evening as part of the 19th day in advance of La Liga, Real Madrid, as a bonus of putting an end to its poor dynamic of three successive draws, probably achieved its best score of the season in all competitions, victory 0-3. Intensity, pressing, two touches of the ball, Xabi Alonso's men paid tribute to the former Spanish international, who was increasingly discussed internally. By winning this meeting, the Merengue got closer to Barça, now 1 length behind. The cat and mouse game can restart. Note that the White House will return to its lair of the Bernabéu after having played 6 away matches in all competitions 2w, 3d, 1d, for only one defeat, contracted in the Champions League at Liverpool 1-0.

12th in La Liga at the start of this 15th day of La Liga, Celta Vigo remains a real threat although it remains on a defeat at home for the reception of Espanyol Barcelona 0-1. It must be said that the Celticos had released a lot of juice in the Europa League, a few days earlier, on the lawn of Ludogorets in Bulgaria, defeated 3-2. It is important to mention that the Galicians have won their last three away matches in La Liga, against Alaves 0-1, Levante 1-2 and Osasuna 2-3. During the week, no C3 on the program but a trip to the Sant Andreu pitch, for a 1/32nd final of the Copa del Rey, result to follow. 

The tactical battle between Alonso’s Madrid and Giráldez’s Celta promises intrigue. Madrid’s attacking trio of Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Rodrygo has been lively but wasteful in recent weeks, with goals disallowed and missed chances piling up. Their midfield, anchored by Jude Bellingham, has provided creativity, but the lack of defensive stability has been exposed in tight matches. Celta, on the other hand, rely heavily on Aspas and Jørgen Strand Larsen to provide goals, while their midfield often struggles to control possession against stronger sides. The contrast in styles—Madrid’s high-tempo pressing and Celta’s pragmatic approach—could make for an open contest. With Madrid desperate to end their run of draws and Celta eager to prove they can compete away from home, the stakes are high. Both sides know that December fixtures will define their trajectory, with Madrid chasing Barcelona and Celta aiming to stay clear of mid-table obscurity.

Considering the recent form and the quality of both squads, the prediction leans toward a Real Madrid victory. Celta Vigo’s inability to secure consistent results at Balaídos and their defensive vulnerabilities suggest they may struggle against Madrid’s attacking firepower. Los Blancos, despite their recent frustrations, remain a side capable of producing decisive moments, especially at the Bernabéu. With Mbappé and Vinícius likely to exploit Celta’s backline, and Madrid’s midfield expected to dominate possession, the outcome points toward a comfortable home win. Therefore, the forecast for this La Liga clash is a 3-1 scoreline in favor of Real Madrid, a result that would restore confidence in Alonso’s project while leaving Celta searching for answers ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
