Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid once again had a great start to the new season. They are dominant on all fronts, and the fact that Carlo Ancelotti’s team suffered only their first defeat of the season in the previous round of the Champions League against RB Leipzig (3-2) is enough proof of that.
Regardless of the defeat in Germany, with 10 points, Real has already secured a place in the knockout phase of the most elite European football competition, and in the match against Celtic on Wednesday, they will have the opportunity to confirm the first position in the ranking.
In La Liga, after the victory in El Clasico, they took the leading position from Barcelona. But an unexpected draw on Sunday against Girona, a team from the very bottom of the table, reduced their advantage over the Catalans to just one point.
Celtic Team News
Celtic is playing convincingly in the Scottish Premiership this season as well. They have achieved 11 wins, one loss and after 12 rounds they hold the leading position in the domestic championship with 4 points more than the second-placed Rangers. On Sunday, they won against Livingston with a score of 3:0, so we can say that they are traveling to Spain for the match with Real in a good mood.
They failed to transfer their good form from the Premiership to the performances in the Champions League. So they had to be satisfied with only two points won from five matches in Group F, which was not enough to ensure spring in one of the European competitions.
The match in Madrid will not change anything for Ange Postecoglou’s team, except that it can cheer their fans if they manage to avoid another defeat against Real.
H2H
In all four meetings so far, Real won against Celtic and scored as many as ten goals against them, while the team from Scotland did not shake Real’s net even once.
