Atletico go to this game straight from a loss to Barcelona, which was rather painful after conceding late goals and they will be keen on returning to winning ways. Apart from consolidating second place, Atletico will not gain much from this game; the game is more important to Celta than Atletico. Celta Vigo have gone unbeaten in the last three matches, scoring three goals in each of the matches and they head here needing three more points, as they are just two points above the relegation region. Both sides have key men out suspended, but Atletico will be the most hit, with Diego Costa, Jose Maria Gimenez and Thomas Partey all out, while Iago Aspas is out for Celta Vigo. In their last five matches, Atletico have lost three and won two but at home they are on four straight wins, all coming with clean sheets. In the last 36 home matches in La Liga, Atletico have lost just two. They do not score a lot but they do just enough in attack and defence to keep their home form; Atletico have conceded in just one of their last eight home matches – the 1 – 3 loss to Real Madrid. Celta Vigo on their part, are winless in the last eight away matches in La Liga. They have as well failed to score in three of their last four matches and they have just one clean sheet in 24 away matches in La Liga. Atletico have lost five matches this season, the second least after Barcelona’s, and one of the defeats came against Celta Vigo. That however is the only time Celta Vigo have picked points against Atletico. In the last six matches, Atletico have won five. Head to head, the two have met 39 times with Atletico winning 20 and Celta Vigo 11.
