Atletico Madrid-Celta Vigo is a match of the fifth day of the Spanish La Liga: here is where to watch it, the probable formations and the prediction
ATLETICO MADRID – CELTA VIGO | Saturday 21:00
A tight, hard-fought victory in the 101st minute against a strong team. Atletico Madrid’s Champions League debut was forbidden to the faint-hearted. Simeone’s team won at the last gasp against Porto, showing once again that they possess the character that has always distinguished their coach. And who knows, maybe this is the right time to return to winning ways in the league. In fact, there are already five points separating Atletico from Real Madrid, who lead the championship. An important gap after four matches and a sign that the La Liga has not got off on the right foot.
And now comes a Celta Vigo side who want to play a little trick, perhaps taking advantage of what energy is lacking after Wednesday night’s effort. Of course, if Atletico can muster the will and the nastiness they have shown throughout the week, then it seems highly likely that the Colchoneros can take an important victory.
Aspas del Celta Vigo
The Prediction
The feeling is that Atletico can return to winning ways in the league after a somewhat so-so start. The turning point, as mentioned, could have come from the victory against Porto in the Champions League. In short, Simeone’s team is confident.
