Celta Vigo are placed seventh on the LaLiga points table as of now. As things stand, they will probably end up with a UEFA Europa League spot for the upcoming season. They have failed against Los Blancos twice this season.

The team will not be looking for the same result. Celta de Vigo are coming in after securing a win over Villarreal in their previous league fixture.

Players to Watch

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

Although the Frenchman has not been very impactful in recent games, Kylian Mbappe is the top goal scorer in the LaLiga for Los Blancos. He has shown some great performances in his debut season. But the LaLiga giants will need him to step up here by scoring some goals.

Borja Iglesias (Celta Vigo)

Borja Iglesias came up with a phenomenal performance against Barcelona. He scored a hat-trick and is also coming in after scoring a goal in Celta’s last league game against Villarreal. The 32-year-old is going to play a crucial role in the attacking front for his side.

He can cause serious problems for opponents’s defence.
