Celta have clinched the place in Europa League for the next season. Vigo side have 60 points after 37 matches with 51-57 goal difference and sit on the fifth place in Primera standings. Celta have taken 27 points in 18 matches on the road so far with 22-32 aggregate goal difference.
The opponents met three times this season. Atletico Madrid were victorious in Vigo, 2-0, while Celta got their revenge in the Copa del Rey matchup, tying home match at 0-0 and winning 3-2 at Vicente Calderon. The result of the match won’t affect disposition of the teams in top-three of Spanish elite division, but Atletico have no reason to give up on their divisive football and show another spectacular performance at own half of the pitch.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
