Celta Vigo vs Atlético Madrid Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

The last match played between these teams ended in a 1-1 draw.

Celta de Vigo are ready to host Atletico Madrid for their matchweek 8 fixture of the LaLiga 2025-26 edition. This is going to be an interesting fixture and is scheduled to take place at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.

Os Celestes are yet to secure a win in the Spanish league this season. In seven league fixtures, they were held to a draw in five of them and faced a defeat in a couple of matches.

Celta Vigo are coming into the game after securing a win against PAOK Salonika in their UEFA Europa League. This can also help them boost their confidence coming into their next fixture.

Atletico de Madrid are coming in after securing a sensational win against Real Madrid in their previous LaLiga fixture. The Diego Simeone-led side then defeated Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League.

Atleti are now looking in good touch. Despite being away from home, they will be confident.

Kick-off:

• Location: Vigo, Spain
• Stadium: Estadio Abanca-Balaídos
• Date: Monday, October 6
• Kick-off Time: 12:30 a.m. IST (Sunday, Oct 5; 07:00 p.m. GMT/ 03:00 p.m. ET/ 12:00 p.m. PT)

Form:

Celta Vigo: D-D-L-L-W

Atletico Madrid: L-D-W-W-W

Players to Watch

Borja Iglesias (Celta Vigo)

The 32-year-old Spanish forward will be keen on helping his side in the attacking front. In seven league matches this season, Borja Iglesias has scored four goals and will be keen to continue his goal-scoring run.

The upcoming game is not going to be any easy affair for the hosts, but a top performance by Iglesias can surely help them.

Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)

Julian Alvarez is back in form and is playing an important role in the attacking front for Atletico de Madrid. He first scored a hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga, and the Argentine striker then scored a brace against Los Blancos.

In the previous UCL game for this side, he scored a goal and bagged two assists. Alvarez is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
