Celta Vigo-Atletico Madrid is a match of the tenth day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 9 p.m.: likely lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Atletico Madrid definitely seems ready this year to be able to hold its own after a couple of seasons below expectations against Real Madrid and Barcelona. They are now five points behind their cousins at the top of the standings, but Ancelotti’s Blancos cannot keep up this pace all season long. Sooner or later a decline, a physiological one, has to be there. And that’s exactly the time not to slip up.
Of course, Simeone’s troop cannot afford any missteps. And against a slumping Celta Vigo navigating in difficult waters, there shouldn’t be who knows what particular problems in managing to take home the three points. Yes, there is no doubt really about this match: the Colchoneros have a superior squad, before the break they were living a positive moment, and they seem to have found even more those tactical certainties that have allowed the Argentine coach already to triumph in the Spanish league.
Celta as mentioned is navigating in difficult waters and the third last place in the standings, which at the moment would mean relegation, is undoubtedly an important snapshot of what they are experiencing. And to think of getting back afloat against a team built to win and to go as far as possible even in the Champions League, seems to us really exaggerated.
Simeon
The prediction
Race for an outside win. Yes, Atletico Madrid will win this match. Simeone’s team might even manage not to get a goal. But this is a fact that matters little. The three points are almost assured.
