Real Madrid, Recent FormReal Madrid have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 away win against Cádiz in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 69%, while racking up 35 shots along the way, 11 of which were on target, in contrast to Cádiz, who had 12 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Having shipped goals in 10 out of their 14 matches this season, supremo Carlo Ancelotti will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 13 out of 14 home games.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Karim Benzema will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, having notched up 5 goals for Real Madrid in their last 6 league matches at home.
Celta Vigo, Recent FormThe Celta Vigo squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Mallorca, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 73% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Mallorca who had 8 attempts and 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Celta will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Gabri Veiga is giving Celta Vigo's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
The last time these two teams met Real Madrid enforced their superiority over Celta Vigo with a comfortable 1-4 win.
Real Madrid will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Os Celestes having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 17 meetings. Los Blancos have a decent scoring record against Celta in recent times, having hit the back of the net 16 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Real Madrid will be looking to continue their winning streak against Celta, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 17 meetings.
Karim Benzema will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Real Madrid against Celta in this one, having netted 8 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
There is only really one injury concern for the Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti ahead of this clash, with Ferland Mendy (Muscle) missing out, which gives Ancelotti a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Carlos Carvalhal has a number of injury concerns in his Celta squad to contend with: Diego Alves (Knee), Agustín Marchesín (Cruciate ligament) and Óscar Mingueza (Muscle)
