La Liga Odds, Picks & Predictions: Celta Vigo vs. Real Madrid

Winning La Liga last season by a margin of 13 points, the expectations are once again sky high for Real Madrid heading into this one. In week one, those expectations seemed to get to them a bit, allowing an early goal to the recently promoted Almeria on the road, failing to find the back of the net until late into the second half.

Scoring two goals over 15 minutes, Real Madrid ultimately prevailed 2-1, scoring just twice despite putting up 29 shots, with 15 of them on target.

For Celta Viga, they had a 2-1 win in their sights before allowing a penalty shot to go in extra time. It’s also worth noting that Celta Vigo committed 17 fouls in the match, picking up five yellow cards, including every player on their back line getting one.

After playing their first match on short rest following a game in the UEFA Super Cup, Real Madrid will now have a full week of recovery before almost surely picking up their second win of the season.

Pick: Real Madrid -145
