Team News

Celta Vigo
Atletico
  • Mihailo Ristic is out with an injury so Manu Sanchez should come into the side to replace him.
  • Jorgen Strand Larsen should keep his place up top having scored a brace in their last match against Getafe.
  • Rodrigo de Paul and Pablo Barrios return from injury to bolster Diego Simeone's midfield depth.
  • Jose Gimenez is out with a fresh injury. Axel Witsel will likely continue his cameo in defence.

Prediction

  • Atletico Madrid have not lost to their weekend hosts since 2018, having drawn three and won six since then.
  • Atleti have more midfield options now to choose from than before, and Saul Niguez - who is not even a first choice central midfielder - is ranked as the best player in La Liga this season for chance creation.
  • Celta Vigo have been decent at scoring goals and taking opportunities this season, but holding on to leads is not one of them. Simeone's side should take all three points.
