Real Madrid will entertain Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday for a La Liga one-on-one clash, with kickoff slated for 17:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Real Madrid are Looking for Consistency as they Approach the Run-In
Just two wins in the last five outings for Carlo Ancelotti’s men demonstrates a drop in the consistent form that Los Blancos have shown most of this season. They will look to return to their best this weekend as they bid to push into the run-in to seal the title.
In their last five matches, they have won twice and drawn three times, dropping six points in the process.
However, their inconsistency has not been punished, as second-placed Girona have only won once and lost three times over the same period. This means Real Madrid have established a seven-point lead at the top of La Liga heading into Sunday’s clash at home to Celta Vigo.
Celta Vigo Desperately Need Points to bolster their Fight to Avoid Relegation
Celta are 17th on the table, a place above the relegation zone. With 24 points after 27 rounds of fixtures in La Liga, they are just five points above 18th-placed Cadiz. They need to regain their consistency to keep out of the drop zone and climb into midtable.
In their last five matches, Celta Vigo have demonstrated inconsistency, winning twice, drawing once, and losing two times.
They are unbeaten in their last two matches, drawing 2-2 in a six-pointer clash against Cadiz and besting bottom side Almeria (1-0). They go into the clash against Los Blancos in better shape and confidence looking to pull off a shock result.
