STAR MATCH

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid 16:00

Probably regarded to as the match of the weekend in the La Liga as the two sides have not lost this season after 8 games, the two sides remain the only teams yet to have tasted defeat this season.

The only difference between them is that Real has scored one more goal and has a better defence which is why they occupy first spot in the standings.

Last Season, Real Madrid did the double over Celta Vigo, 4-2 in the Balaidos and 3-0 in the Santiago Bernabeu.

Celta has already defeated Barcelona and will be hoping to do the double over the two gaints. What's your prediction for this match? I think its ending in a draw.
