Pre-match comments Celta Vigo vs Atletico Madrid

Celta Vigo are having a forgettable start to La Liga this season. After 7 rounds, they are still without a win, with only 5 points thanks to 5 draws and 2 defeats, thereby falling to 17th place in the rankings. For a team that finished 7th last season, this is clearly a disappointing result for Balaidos fans.

However, amid the gloomy atmosphere, Celta has just had a glimmer of light when they won their first victory of the season, a 2-1 victory over PAOK in the Europa League last midweek. Hopefully, that result will help coach Claudio Giraldez and his team find inspiration when they return to the domestic front.

However, the challenge of Atletico Madrid is certainly not easy. “Los Colchoneros” are gradually finding their own image with a series of 3 consecutive victories, including a 5-2 thrashing of Real Madrid in La Liga and a 5-1 destruction of Frankfurt in the Champions League. Diego Simeone’s army has climbed to 5th place, just a few points behind the top group.

It is worth mentioning that despite possessing an explosive attack, Atletico's defense still leaves some concerns when conceding 9 goals in 7 matches, an unusual number for a team known for having the most disciplined defense in Europe. This could be an opportunity for Celta Vigo to hope for a surprise, especially when they held Atletico to a 1-1 draw last February.

However, with the brilliant form of attacking stars like Julian Alvarez, and the rising spirit, Simeone's army is still rated much higher. If they continue to maintain the current pace, Atletico can completely extend their winning streak, while Celta will have to fight with all their might to avoid falling deeper into the danger zone.
