Celta Vigo enter this clash buoyed by a 3-1 Europa League win over PAOK, with goals from Iago Aspas, Hugo Iglesias, and Williot Swedberg. However, their defensive frailties remain a concern, having conceded in each of their last six games (8 goals in total). They’ll need to be much sharper at the back to contain a free-scoring Atlético side.

Atlético Madrid arrive in Vigo in high spirits after a 5-1 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Raspadori, Griezmann, Le Normand, Simeone, and Álvarez all found the net, showcasing their attacking depth. However, Simeone’s men have also conceded in five of their last six games, suggesting they’re not entirely watertight at the back.

Celta Vigo’s recent form suggests they can threaten going forward, but their defensive lapses could prove costly against Atlético Madrid’s firepower. Simeone’s side should have enough quality to grind out an away win despite a competitive battle in Vigo.
