Real Madrid had set outstanding record of 40 matches without defeats but followed in with defeats in the league to Sevilla, 1-2, and in the first leg against Celta Vigo, 1-2. Such result gained at own turf put in question Real’s place in the next stage. On the road to the quarterfinals Real knocked out Leonesa, 7-1, 6-1, and Sevilla, 3-0, 3-3. The team isn’t that strong in away matches, taking eight wins, five draws and one defeat, managing to record only four clean sheets in these games.
We should note the fact that both of the teams scored at least once in recent five head-to-heads between the teams. Considering solid results of Celta at home and Real’s poor defense in away matches, we can count on extension of this streak.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
