Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Celta Vigo in the round 35 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, April 12th at Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid).
In the previous round, bookmakers gave odds of over 2.0 for a victory of Madrid's Atletico over Mallorca away. However, Simeone's charges ended up winning (0-1). This victory marked their fourth in the championship in the last five La Liga rounds. Earlier, the mattress makers triumphed away against Villarreal (2-1) and at home against Athletic Bilbao and Girona with the same scoreline of 3-1. A victory over Celta could become the third consecutive one for the capital team in the championship. And most likely, nothing will hinder them, as Atletico have been strong at home this season - 15 wins in 17 La Liga matches.

And what about Celta? This time the battle for survival for Vigo's fans is not as tense, as their beloved team is currently six points clear of the danger zone. Undoubtedly, the Celts need points, including in away matches. But motivation and desire alone won't get you far, as we know. In their last two away matches of the championship, the sky blues suffered defeats: to Betis (1-2) and Alaves (0-3). I think the loss in Madrid will be the team's third in a row in La Liga.
I agree with the bookmakers that in this match, the mattress makers are favorites and should take three points. But I won't speculate on the margin by which they'll do so. I wouldn't be surprised if Celta fails to offer any resistance to the capital team, as was the case in the first-round match when Atletico was superior in Vigo (3-0). However, I also wouldn't rule out the possibility that the Celts will upset their opponents with a goal, as Madrid teams have rarely kept clean sheets lately. Nevertheless, even if the hosts concede, it's unlikely to affect the result. My prediction - Atletico Madrid win and Over 1.5 goals. This bet has paid off in four out of five recent head-to-head matches between these opponents.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win and Over 1.5 scored goals.
