La Liga - How to watch Celta de Vigo vs Real Madrid on TV/online

Topics: La Liga, TV Schedules, TV Listings, Streaming info

Los Blancos got off to a good start, but their next trip will not be as easy as expected. Watch this game with our detailed guide.

One of the highlights of this week in La Liga will be Real Madrid's visit to Balaídos, where Celta de Vigo will be eager to end a seven-year drought against Los Merengues in league matches.

Both teams showed their worth last week, although Real Madrid were the only ones to claim three points in their opening match last weekend. With that in mind, Celta will want to put to good use their home-field advantage this time around, especially after not being able to do so last week against Espanyol.

This has been a complicated weekend for both clubs, as Celta has been involved in controversy for Santi Mina's possible departure despite having been sentenced to prison. On the other hand, Ancelotti's men may be watching at the end of an era, as this could be Casemiro's final match with the team if the alleged offer by Manchester United is accepted by the club and the footballer. This should prompt quite a few changes for the defending champions, who could see Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, or even David Alaba filling in for the highly-praised Brazilian midfielder.

Let's have a closer look at the main topics to keep an eye on ahead of this fixture.

Celta de Vigo vs Real Madrid - Team news

Celta started the season with a disappointing draw against Espanyol, who snatched one point away from Eduardo Coudet's men with a late late strike by Joselu. Iago Aspas and Goncalo Paciencia had given the team from Vigo a two-nil lead before conceding twice during the last 20 minutes of the game. If the hosts want to claim their first win of the season here, they must try to keep it together and avoid such mistakes against a powerful rival as the defending champions.

On the other hand, Real Madrid kicked off their campaign with a narrow win against Almería. Los Blancos had to come from behind to win last week's game, as they had conceded an early goal by the recently promoted team. Goals by Lucas Vázquez and David Alaba saved the day for Ancelotti's men, especially since their dominant form from last season was nowhere to be found.

Celta de Vigo - Ineligible: Santi Mina.

Real Madrid - Illness: Toni Kroos. Doubtful: Casemiro.
