Celta Vigo Form and Team News

Celta Vigo in the last season finished just outside the qualification positions for any major championships in the 8^th position. They played decently throughout the season and with that had they been able to secure qualification in any of the championships, then their season would have been great. They are opening their campaign against Atletico Madrid on Sunday at home. Celta Vigo’s recent form has been splendid, they have won seven in the last nine and have lost just one match in the lead up to this game while also drawing another game in the process. Celta Vigo have the team to win everything they play, and this is possible only if they start believing and performing to the fullest.

Emre Mor, Mina and Aspas combined in the frontline. Denis Suarez, Renato Tapia, Yokuslu and Cervi are all young and a great bunch of midfield prodigies to have in your team and if they happen to put in performances of substance, then this Celta team could be in for some real haunt. Argentine coach Eduardo Coudet needs to balance this team out and try to get the best out of them by allowing them to play freely and see what happens from there on.

Atletico Madrid Form and Team News

Atletico Madrid played some inspirational football last season. They were so clinical that not even once in the entire season were they out of the first three positions, they were the better team through the whole season and deservedly ended up winners as well. They are playing against Celta Vigo in their first match and they would want to start on a positive note. They have become the Spanish powerhouses after whatever they have done in the past few seasons, but one thing which is missing is a European Silverware which they can start eyeing to become World-beaters.

Diego Simeone has been spectacular with his reign at Atletico Madrid and he is starting to become a feared manager in the circuit. Given the form that both Real Madrid and Barcelona are in presently combined with all that’s been happening off the field as well, this season if Atletico can really capitalise, they can end up winning everything with the team they have. Luis Suarez has been playing like a dream and if he continues to do that, this team could really turn on the heat.
