Real Madrid look for three points away against Celta Vigo
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Balaidos, Vigo
Real Madrid are currently on 31 points from 16 games. They trail table toppers Barcelona by 14 points, although have played a game less. But they know they need to keep winning games to catch arch rivals.
Los Blancos lost to Barca the last time they played in La Liga last month, so they will be a little disappointed with that. Although they defeated Numancia in midweek in Copa del Rey. They know that they face another sterner test against Celta Vigo.
On the other hand, Celta Vigo are on just 21 points from 17 games. They know they need to keep winning games to remain out of the relegation zone. It will be tough game for them on Sunday night against champions Real Madrid.
Team news and possible line-ups
Jonny in available for Celta Vigo and should play against Real Madrid on Sunday. The new signing Robert Mazan could be handed over a debut at the weekend.
As for Real Madrid, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos will be unavailable for Sunday’s game due to injuries. While Dani Carvajal is suspended and will miss the trip to Vigo.
Celta Vigo XI : S. Alvarez, Mallo, Fontas, Mazan, Jonny, Radoja, P. Hernandez, Sisto, Lobotka, M. Gomez, Guidetti.

Prediction
While it’s not a given that Real Madrid will win on Sunday night, they certainly are the favorites. I expect them to get the job done and earn three points. The scoreline could be 3-1 in favor of Los Blancos.
