Atletico Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Diego Simeone’s men eyeing the top spot in the Spanish league.

Atletico Madrid are all set to host Celta Vigo on matchday 24 of the LaLiga 2024-25 season. Diego Simeone’s men are in the second spot in the Spanish League table and a win here can grant them access to the top spot. Celta Vigo have come up with mediocre performances and are placed at the 12th spot in the league table.

Atletico Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw in their previous league fixture which was against Real Madrid. Diego Simeone’s men were in the lead after scoring a goal in the first half but early in the second half, Carlo Ancelotti’s men equalised. They dropped points there. They will be hoping for Real Madrid’s defeat over Osasuna so that they can get to the top with ease.

Even though it will be an away game for Celta Vigo, they will be confident. They are coming in after defeating Real Betis in their last league game. It was a close battle, but Celta Vigo scored an important goal in the end to take home the win to grab those essential three points. They will surely have a tough contest against Atletico Madrid.
