On Sunday, October 5, Celta Vigo will face Atletico Madrid in the eighth round of La Liga. The match starts at 21:00 Central European Time, and here’s a betting tip for this game.
Celta finished seventh last season, earning a spot in the UEFA Europa League. They began their European campaign with a 1-2 loss to Stuttgart but bounced back with a 3-1 victory over PAOK. In La Liga, Celta’s start has not been great. They lost their opener 0-2 to Getafe and drew five consecutive matches before losing 1-2 to Elche last round. With only five points so far, Celta is currently in 17th place.
Atletico Madrid also struggled at the beginning of the season. They lost 1-2 to Espanyol and drew the next two matches. They claimed their first win in round four, defeating Villarreal 2-0. However, they lost to Liverpool 2-3 in the UEFA Champions League and drew 1-1 with Mallorca in La Liga. Recently, Atletico has picked up the pace; they convincingly beat Real Madrid 5-2 at home and won 5-1 against Eintracht in the Champions League. Now, Atletico is in the top five, with 12 points in fifth place.
Atletico Madrid is currently in excellent form, scoring freely. Celta is having a tough time, and even away from home, I think Atletico will secure the win. That’s where my prediction lies.
