Team News

Celta Vigo
Real Madrid
  • After being knocked out of the Europa League last week, and then resting plenty of first-team faces at the weekend, Celta should be at full strength.
  • John Guidetti is expected to be preferred up top to Claudio Beauvue, with Pione Sisto and Iago Aspas providing the invention out wide.
  • Facundo Roncaglia should get another start at centre-back, with Eduardo Berizzo expected to go with the same first-choice side that played against Manchester United recently.
  • Real Madrid have been successful in appealing Nacho's suspension and he is free to play against Celta Vigo on Wednesday night.
  • Marcelo will come back in at left-back for the visitors, with Danilo expected to feature on the opposite side of the defence.
  • Casemiro should anchor the midfield from the off, with Isco and Karim Benzema coming back into the front three alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
  • James Rodríguez missed training in the build up to this match with a sore foot and isn't expected to feature.

Prediction

  • The hosts have lost their last five matches in La Liga, even winning just one of their last five games in Balaidos, with rotation for the Europa League proving costly.
  • Earlier in the season, La Celeste were only beaten narrowly 2-1 in the league by Zinedine Zidane's men, and even managed a 4-3 aggregate win over Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey over two legs.
  • After their comfortable 4-1 in over Sevilla last time out, Real Madrid are just two results away from lifting their first La Liga title since 2012.
