Match facts

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have won eight of their last nine league games against Celta (L1, 2-0 at Balaidos in May 2014).
The Whites have won nine of their last ten league games at the Bernabeu with Zidane in charge (L1, 0-1 against Atletico).
Bale scored the last Real Madrid goal against Celta in La Liga, and he is just one goal away from his 50th in the competition.
The Welshman has scored more headed goals in the Top 5 European Leagues than any other player since the start of the 2015/16 season (10).

Celta Vigo

Celta have won just one of their last 16 games away from home against Madrid sides in the top flight (D1 L14), 0-1 at Getafe last season.
Celta were the side with the fewest fouls conceded in the opening game this season (5).
Against Real Madrid, Celta have both scored (132) and conceded (224) more goals than against any other side in the top flight.

Predictions

Despite being without Navas, Pepe, Modric and Benzema, Real cruised to a 3-0 win in their league opener at Sociedad and will be boosted by Modric’s return from suspension for this one.

Meanwhile Celta Vigo suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at home to promoted Leganes in their first game and a trip to the Bernabeu is the last thing Eduardo Berizzo would have wanted to follow that.
