La Liga 2024

Real Madrid will be aiming for consecutive victories in La Liga 2024 as they travel to face Celta Vigo at the Estadio Municipal de Balaidos on Saturday night. Currently second in the table with 21 points from nine matches, Los Blancos are trailing Barcelona by three points and are keen to close the gap.

Celta’s Mixed Start to the Season

Celta Vigo, currently ninth in the league standings, have accumulated 13 points from their first nine games. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, with four wins, one draw, and four losses. Offensively, Celta have been impressive, scoring 16 goals only Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Villarreal have netted more. However, their defense has been a weak spot, conceding 15 goals, making them one of the worst defensive sides in the league.

Strong Home Form Boosts Celta’s Confidence

Despite their defensive struggles, Celta secured a 1-0 win over Las Palmas before the international break, thanks to a decisive goal from Borja Iglesias. Additionally, Celta have been strong at home, earning 10 points from five matches at Balaidos this season. Their solid home record will be a key factor as they face the mighty Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s Away Struggles

While Real Madrid remain a force to be reckoned with, they have shown some inconsistencies this season. Los Blancos secured a 2-0 victory over Villarreal in their last outing, but have only managed one win in their four away league games this season. However, history is on their side, having won their last eight La Liga encounters against Celta Vigo. Real Madrid will look to continue this dominance on Saturday.
