The Galician club repeats its previous season, where it kept fans in suspense until the last round and eventually took 17-th place, a step away from the abyss. To date, Celta has recorded seven victories and 14 peaceful outcomes, which ultimately brought 35 points and led Vigo to the top three teams from 15-th to 17-th place. The defense of the Celts is the best among the worst teams of Primera, but the attack is hunting, thus is rather the opposite. 33 goals have been scored, which is less than one per game, which is not enough for Europe’s top league. The main sniper of hosts is Aspas (13 goals), who traditionally scored almost half of all goals, but Fedor Smolov managed to score twice in a season, which few expected, or rather counted on more. After a long pause, the celestial lost two games, but three victories with Valladolid (0: 0), Barcelona (2: 2) and in the last game with Betis (1: 1), inspired optimism for the next season for teams fans. The main events of the summer session were two victories – over Alaves (6: 0) and Real Sociedad (1: 0), which allowed Oscar Garcia’s wards to get out of the basement of the table, and the mentor retained the post of coach. Suarez, Alvarez, Araujo and Hunk will not be able to take part in the todays match.
Last season’s bronze medalist ranks first in the UEFA ranking. The team is the most expensive in the world, whose value is estimated at more than four billion. Like today’s rival, Real Madrid has never left the tournament, with 33 times becoming the winner of La Liga. In the 2019/20 season, creamy followed in the footsteps of the main competitor for a long time, but already in the summer session they were able to squeeze the Catalans, thereby opening the path to victory for themselves. The galacticos has 22 wins and eight world victories, while the second best performance indicator in the Primera is 61 goals scored. The main goalscorer of the team are Karim Benzema (17 goals) and Ramos (nine goals scored). The last match, before the quarantine, the whites lost, but after the resumption of the season they issued a series of six victories in a row. It is worth noting that the defense of the Madrid club played exemplary, which did not concede a single goal in 4 of 6 winning matches. Last Sunday, the wards of Zinedine Zidane beat Espanyol (1: 0) and on Thursday minimally outplayed the fellow countrymen from Getafe (1: 0). Varan, Nacho and Rainier will not be able to take part in today’s match.
