The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with a set of important fixtures this weekend as Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid lock horns with a dangerous Celta Vigo side at the Balaidos Stadium on Saturday.
Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Preview
Celta Vigo are currently in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have improved after a decidedly slow start to their season. The Galician outfit held Real Betis to a 0-0 stalemate last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and are the favorites to win the La Liga title. Los Blancos suffered a shock 4-0 defeat against arch-rivals Barcelona in their previous game and cannot afford a similar debacle this weekend.

Real Madrid have been in impressive form so far this season and are on track to reclaim the La Liga title. The Spanish giants suffered a stunning El Clasico defeat earlier this month and will need to make the most of their reality check.
Celta Vigo can pack a punch on their day and have troubled La Liga's best teams in the past. Real Madrid are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
