Their opponents, Atletico Madrid, are unbeaten in the league since the opening matchday, with three wins and three draws, and they are significant favourites to win on Sunday with odds of 1.73.

Celta Vigo v Atletico Madrid Best Bet

Fixtures for: Sunday 5th October

Celta Vigo v Atletico Madrid

La Liga

20:00

Both Teams to Score

Celta Vigo’s matches during the opening stage of the 2025/26 campaign have contained plenty of goals, with 22 goals scored in their first nine games across all competitions. Of those fixtures, both teams have scored in eight of the nine, with the only exception being their 2-0 defeat to Getafe in the first match of the season. 

Similar can be said for Atletico Madrid, as there have been 34 goals scored in their first nine games across all competitions, including both teams scoring in eight of those nine outings. The only exception was Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Villarreal in gameweek 4 of La Liga, a game in which their opponents squandered several superb goalscoring opportunities. 

Outside of that clean sheet, Atletico Madrid’s defence has been far from the high standards expected from a Diego Simeone side, with Sunday’s visitors conceding at least two goals in three of their last five outings, while they have now conceded in all of their last five matches.

📈 Celta Vigo v Atletico Madrid Form & Stats

Celta Vigo recorded a superb 7th-placed finish in La Liga last season, marking their highest finish since placing 6th in 2015/16, but Sunday’s hosts have failed to reach those heights at the beginning of this term. 

The Sky Blues failed to win any of their opening eight games across all competitions, recording five draws and two defeats in the league - leaving them sitting 17th in the standings – and they lost in their opening Europa League fixture against Stuttgart.

Sunday’s hosts did finally secure a confidence-boosting victory against PAOK in their most recent encounter, coming from 1-0 down to win 3-1. 

While they will be aiming to build on that result on Sunday, their visitors are overwhelming favourites heading into the encounter, with Atletico Madrid in significantly stronger form at the beginning of this term. 

Atletico Madrid, after a difficult start of one defeat and two draws, have since won four, drawn one and lost one of their subsequent six games, including back-to-back matches where they have scored five goals - spectacularly defeating Real Madrid 5-2 and Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1.

Diego Simeone’s side will be looking to replicate their recent brilliance when they travel to Balaidos Stadium on Sunday, with Atletico Madrid still searching for their first away win of the 2025/26 season.
