The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Celta Vigo take on Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and can pack a punch on their day.

Celta Vigo are in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. The Galician outfit edged Villarreal to a narrow 3-2 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive over the past year. Los Colchoneros edged Mallorca to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Atletico Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Atletico Madrid have blown hot and cold in La Liga over the past year and are yet to secure their place in the top four. Antoine Griezmann has been his team's talisman this season and will look to make an impact this weekend.

Celta Vigo are in the midst of a relegation battle and will need the likes of Iago Aspas to step up to the plate in the coming weeks. Atletico Madrid are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
