On Saturday night, Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid clash at the Abanca-Balaidos as the visitors look to continue their recent good form in La Liga.
Celta Vigo form guideThe Galicians have endured a poor campaign in the Spanish top flight, as they are currently in 18th place in the table, having claimed just six points from their opening nine matches in La Liga.
A 2-2 home draw against Getafe last time out in La Liga means that Celta have now failed to win in five matches in the Spanish top flight. The game saw Rafa Benitez’s team concede at least two goals in three of their last four league games.
Los Celestes have struggled for results on home soil of late in La Liga, as they are winless in five games in front of their own supporters, having picked up just two draws and suffered three defeats.
Atletico Madrid form guideLos Colchoneros continued their recent strong league form last time out by recording a 2-1 home win over Real Sociedad, which was their fifth straight victory in all competitions and the fourth straight win in the Spanish top-flight.
One of the most significant factors in Atletico’s recent stellar league form has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in all four of the victories of late.
Atletico’s recent away form has been inconsistent in the Spanish top flight, as they have won just two of their last seven league matches on their travels.
However, they have won two of their previous three away games in La Liga. Diego Simeone’s team has also kept clean sheets in three of their last four away games in the Spanish top flight.
What am I backing?Atletico have been in impressive form of late, while Celta have struggled for results. I am backing the visitors to continue their recent good form in this clash.
