Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction 04.05.2025 | LaLiga

• Competition: Spain - LaLiga
• Date: Sunday, 4th, May 2025
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14.00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid)

Real Madrid will aim to stay in the LaLiga title race when they host European hopefuls Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.

After falling short in a dramatic 3-2 extra-time defeat to Barcelona in last week’s Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid are left clinging to their only remaining hope in the LaLiga title race, although the crown appears out of reach with their fierce Catalan rivals holding a four-point cushion at the summit.

In contrast, Celta Vigo have surged into seventh place in the LaLiga standings and are now flirting with European qualification thanks to a sparkling display last week where they blew past a lifeless Villarreal side at their Balaídos fortress with a dominant 3-0 victory.

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Betting Tips : AH2 (+1,5)

With the league’s El Clasico looming on the horizon next week, Real Madrid simply cannot afford a slip-up here and must take care of business to keep their title aspirations firmly on track. Truthfully speaking, morale in the Los Blancos dressing room appears shaky and with a worrying run of five losses in their previous eight fixtures in any format, optimism is understandably in short supply among both players and fans. Adding to their current worries is the lack of their trademark ruthlessness in the final third, leaving them to dig deep for modest rewards in recent weeks, as shown by a string of three consecutive uninspiring 1-0 triumphs in LaLiga. At this stage, Celta could pose a genuine threat to the capital outfit, drawing extra motivation from their spirited Copa del Rey clash earlier this year where they clawed back with two late goals to force extra time before eventually bowing out. Moreover, the Vigo-based outfit head to the Spanish capital with heads held high after crushing Villarreal 3-0 last week, and considering Real’s recent displays offer little to cheer about—especially with their backline hit by key absences—we believe Celta have every ingredient to make life uncomfortable for the Madrid giants.
