Preview: Atletico Madrid vs Celta Vigo prediction, odds, where to watch, time | LaLiga 2025-26

Both of the last two games between these clubs have ended in a draw.

Atletico Madrid will now take on Celta de Vigo for their matchweek 35 fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga. These sides are going to come up with an intense clash, which is scheduled to take place at Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

Los Colchoneros are coming in after getting eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, after their loss to Arsenal in the semifinals. They will now end their season without a trophy. The Diego Simeone-led side are going to be the host for their next game and it is going to be a big advantage for them.

Atletico Madrid are in fourth place on the league table. As things stand, they will surely compete in the elite European competition (UCL) next season. Atleti are going to push for a win and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Os Celestes are coming in after securing a 3-1 win against Elche in their previous matchup. It was a good performance by them to bag three points. But they should also focus on controlling the ball more often.

Claudio Giráldez’s men are in sixth place at the moment and are pushing for a spot in a European competition next season. For their upcoming fixture, Celta de Vigo will be away from home. It is going to make Atleti a tough challenge for them.
