Real Madrid have had a big boost in recent matches with the return of inspirational skipper Sergio Ramos after months out with injury. The team has registered back to back wins and will be hoping for a third when they visit Celta Vigo for a La Liga clash this Saturday. Celta Vigo are going to this game placed 10th with 37 points while Real Madrid are currently third on 57 points. The hosts go to this game having drawn 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao in their last game, the second time in four matches that they’ve failed to score. Scoring hasn’t been Celta Vigo’s strong point; with just 34 goals so far, they are the second lowest scorers in the top 10, only better than Granada. They have one clean sheet in the last five matches and have won just twice in the last 12 matches. At home, going to this game, Celta are unbeaten in four, having won one and drawn three. They’ve failed to hit more than one goal in four of their last five home matches in the league.

Real Madrid are coming from a good win over Atalanta in the Champions League and Ramos is back with a bang. The Madrid skipper has been out for months and on his second start upon returning, he scored in the 3-1 win. Ramos will be hoping to inspire the team defensively too, as they haven’t managed a clean sheet in the last four matches. Real Madrid’s draws with Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid really punctured their title ambitions and ahead of this game, they are six points behind the league leaders. However, Celta Vigo should not be a side to trouble Real who are on seven unbeaten matches in La Liga. In their last 17 matches, Real have lost only one and are unbeaten in nine away league matches. In their last 19 away La Liga games, Real have lost just once. This season they’ve played 14 away games, and lost just one, while winning eight.
