Atletico Madrid has a complicated trip to La Liga on Tuesday, when it goes to Balaidos for the game with Celta Vigo.
Celta Vigo
The host team has had some good evolutions lately and has moved away from the relegation zone.
But the emotions have not passed and he cannot relax.
We find her on the 17th place in La Liga, with six points over the red zone now.
Last stage, Celta drew at home with Betis (1-1). He has lost only one match in the last six games played in the championship.
It remains a force on its own field, where it has lost only once in the previous 10 La Liga disputes.
Araujo is suspended, while Denis Suarez, Junca and Sergio Alvarez are injured.
Atletico Madrid
The guest team is among the fittest in La Liga at the moment and no one beat it after the return of the competition.
It comes after a clear victory, at home with Mallorca (3-0).
Atletico has a good series, of 12 stages without defeat in the championship.
It ranks third in La Liga, but there is still some back pressure.
He is still very well on the defensive phase, with the second balance in the league.
Simeone’s band is facing some lot problems. Joao Felix and Vrsaljko are injured, while Diego Costa is suspended.
Felipe Monteiro and Hermoso remain uncertain.

Football Prediction of the Day Celta Vigo vs Atletico Madrid
Atletico is in great shape, as I reported above. She is undefeated after the pandemic and has won five of the last six championship games.
It fits better in the ranking, it does not allow wrong steps, plus the value of the lot recommends it.
Even if Diego Costa is missing, his place will be taken by Morata, so it will not be a problem in attack.
Celta have had a weak season, plus they have lost five of their last six direct matches with Atletico.
I’m waiting for a final 2, but I’m taking precautions and betting in DNB, with a total return of the tie.
Prediction Today: DNB – 2 (Atletico bet is refunded evenly)
