Celta Vigovs.Real Madrid

Los Blancos entered the international break off the back of a 2-0 success over Villarreal, with Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior on the scoresheet for the Spanish and European champions.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have picked up 21 points from their nine domestic games this season, which has left them in second spot in the La Liga table, three points behind leaders Barcelona, while Celta sit up in ninth spot.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest in Vigo.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 132

Celta Vigo wins: 34

Draws: 21

Real Madrid wins: 77

These two sides have locked horns on 132 occasions throughout history, and Real Madrid comfortably lead the head-to-head record, having won 77 times to Celta's 34, while there have also been 21 draws.

Real Madrid have netted 307 times against Celta, conceding 165, while Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time leading goalscorer in this fixture, having scored 20 goals against the Sky Blues during his time with Los Blancos.

Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid have also dominated their La Liga meetings, winning 70 of their 116 matches, suffering 29 defeats in the process, while there have been 17 draws.

Los Blancos are currently on a eight-game winning run against Celta in La Liga, while they have not lost to Saturday's opponents in Spain's top flight since May 2014, which is an indication of the home side's task here.

Two of Celta's last three wins over Real Madrid have actually come at Bernabeu, and they have only beaten Los Blancos once in front of their own supporters since May 2001.

The last La Liga meeting between the two sides took place in March, with Real Madrid winning 4-0 at Bernabeu, while Los Blancos won the reverse game 1-0 in Vigo.

Celta have not scored a single goal in their last three matches with the capital giants, conceding seven times in the process, so the signs are not quite pointing towards a home win on Saturday night.
