Real Madrid had their league winning momentum stopped in midweek as Elche held them at bay for a share of the spoils.

But Los Blancos are running in hot home form in the league at the moment and will be expected to bounce back to winning ways at the Bernabeu.

However, they are facing a Celta Vigo side that has produced some terrific form of their own recently.

Real Madrid Preview – Will Madrid bag the points at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid were stunted in a 1-1 draw out on the road at Elche in midweek.

That snapped a run of five straight wins that they had put together in the top flight.

But still, their home form makes for great reading as they have won their last three at the Bernabeu, conceding one goal in that sequence.

In the match outright for football betting on Saturday, Real Madrid are 4/9 to get the three points* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).

The overall league form at home for Real Madrid this season is W5 L2.

They have averaged 1.86 goals per game in home fixtures.

They have conceded under a goal per game this campaign, banking a clean sheet in 43% of league games at the Bernabeu.

A Real Madrid 1 goal winning margin for this game is at 13/5* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).

We are taking into consideration here that this is a quick turnaround in matches and they are facing an in-form opponent.

Our betting prediction:
Draw/Real Madrid HT/FT
6/5

(odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December)

 

Of the goals that Real Madrid have produced on home soil, 69% of them have cropped up in the second half of matches.

Home and away combined they have scored in each of their last eleven league fixtures.

So there are no problems with them in terms of scoring form.

In fact Barcelona are the only team to have scored more league goals than Real Madrid have done.

They also have gone unbeaten in their last three home games against Celta Vigo, taking a clean sheet in two of their last three.

 

Celta Vigo Preview – Can Celta Vigo produce a big away win?

Celta Vigo are bang in form at the moment as they have gone undefeated in their last six league matches.

But not only that, but they have taken a win in five of those six games in the sequence.

The most recent one of those was against Huesca in midweek. So they are full of confidence at the moment.

But they are an 11/2 underdog to collect the win on Saturday* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).

That overall run of form though does need some closer examination ahead of football betting.

That’s because their last five wins have happened on home soil.

The away record of Celta Vigo is W1 D5 L2.

The lone win for them was out on the road this season happening at Athletic Bilbao back at the start of December.

The thing which could trip them up in this tougher fixture is a lack of scoring punch up front.

They have averaged 1 goal per game out on their league travels in this campaign.

Celta Vigo have taken a clean sheet in a quarter of their away games this season.

They have suffered five defeats this season, home and away combined, and each of those losses were by a margin of at least two goals.

Another trend worth having a look at for this fixture is the half time draw.

Celta Vigo have been level at the break in six of their eight away games.

With that in mind, a Draw/Real Madrid HT/FT option is at 6/5* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).

While Celta Vigo are in good form at the moment, pulling off a win at the Bernabeu is a different kettle of fish.

 

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Betting Advice

Celta Vigo are playing well enough at the moment and are carrying enough momentum to keep in touch with Real Madrid.

So we think that the Real Madrid 1-goal winning margin is worth a look in the fixture at 13/5* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).

That’s because we would fully support the home win as the outcome.

 

Key Facts – Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Betting Tip

  • Real Madrid have won their last three home league games
  • Real Madrid are the second-highest scorers in La Liga at the moment
  • Celta Vigo have won 5 of their last 6 league games

 

Celta Vigo do not have the form on the road this season to suggest that they will collect all three points.

But we think that they can stick in there until the half time break.

So the Draw/Real Madrid HT/FT option does look a nice pick at 6/5* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).
