The stage is set for an exciting La Liga matchday 34 showdown as Real Madrid host Celta Vigo at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, May 4th. With both teams chasing crucial points for different reasons, this promises to be a high-stakes encounter.
Real Madrid, currently second in the La Liga standings with 72 points, will look to recover quickly from a heartbreaking 3-2 extra-time loss to Barcelona in last weekend’s Copa del Rey final. Despite their strong domestic form, that defeat will still sting, and Carlo Ancelotti’s men will be eager to return to winning ways on home turf.
On the other hand, Celta Vigo are coming into this match full of confidence after a commanding 3-0 win over Villarreal, where they capitalized on an early red card to dominate proceedings. With goals from Fernando Lopez, Borja Iglesias, and Iago Aspas, the Galicians climbed to seventh place with 46 points, keeping their European qualification hopes alive.
Real Madrid Possible Starting XI:
Courty; Vazquez, Assembly,
Valverde, Ceballos, Modric
Bellingham
Vinicius Jr., Mbappe
Celta Vigo Possible Starting XI:
GUAITA; Lake, Dominguez, Alonso
Alvarez, Rodriguez, Moriba, Mingueza
F. Lopez, Iglesias, Gonzalez
Real Madrid, despite the Copa del Rey loss, are likely to dominate this clash given their superior squad depth, form, and home advantage. Celta Vigo may offer resistance, but the attacking firepower of Madrid should be enough to secure all three points.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Celta Vigo
