Real Madrid - Celta prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 7, 2025
One of the marquee fixtures of La Liga's Matchday 15 will take place this Sunday at the legendary Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, as the home side Real host Celta. Here’s a betting tip for this clash, offering strong odds for success.
Match preview
After a string of drawn results, Real finally delivered the performance their fans expect—crushing Athletic 3-0 and snapping their winless run. The team is back in the thick of the title race and continues to boast one of La Liga’s most solid defensive units. Los Blancos are particularly dominant at the Bernabéu, having won all six of their home games so far this season.
Beyond the results, Real’s attitude at home is key—they regularly score at least twice and rarely allow their opponents to build up any meaningful attacks. With the backing of a passionate home crowd and the hunger to reclaim top spot, it’s hard to imagine Madrid slipping up against an inconsistent Celta side.
The Galicians have once again fallen into a patch of inconsistency. After a decent run of victories, they lost at home to Espanyol without even finding the net, a setback that immediately slowed their momentum. Still, Celta have looked much livelier on the road, stringing together three consecutive away wins and holding one of the best away records in La Liga.
Yet, even those numbers are unlikely to help them cope with Real, especially considering the one-sided history between these clubs. Celta simply cannot find a way past Madrid—ten straight defeats and a winless streak stretching 22 head-to-head matches speak volumes. Defensive errors are a recurring issue for Celta, as they tend to concede almost every matchday.
Probable lineups
- Real Madrid: Courtois, Militão, Rüdiger, Carreras, Tchouaméni, Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham, Vinícius, Mbappé
- Celta: Radu, Starfelt, Rodriguez, Alonso, Carreira, Beltrán, Roman, Rueda, Iglesias, Zaragoza, Aspas
Key facts and H2H
- Real have won all 6 of their home La Liga matches this season.
- Celta have lost their last 10 league meetings with Real.
- Seven of the last 10 encounters between these sides have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction
Home Real is a different beast, especially when compared to a Celta side that often struggles against top-tier opposition. Madrid are in great form, playing in front of their own fans, and hungry to top the table once more. The visitors are unlikely to withstand the attacking onslaught or avoid costly mistakes, especially given their poor head-to-head record.
