THE PREDICTION
Real Madrid come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw away at Elche which was very emblematic of the Zidane reign. Big games and big moments are won by Los Blancos but regular, run-of-the-mill fixtures like this one have tripped them up. This can be put down to the fairly functional approach in which Real sit back and keep a clean sheet whilst knowing they will score at least one or two. However, if you concede just one or make a mistake then you are struggling - hence the result. That slip-up was on the same day as Celta continued their ridiculous turnaround against Huesca. The Galicians have gone from worryingly dour and disappointing to an aggressive and attacking side with flair and creativity, most importantly, across the side and not just from Iago Aspas. Celta have enough to score at least one whilst Real should also get one as their opponents have kept just three clean sheets in 16 games this season; however, all three have come in their up-turn in form. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals seems a reasonably likely bet.
