Current betting odds – Athletico Madrid (2/7) Draw (9/2) Celta Vigo (9/1)
Gamingtips Prediction – Athletico Madrid 4:0 Celta Vigo
2/7 may seem a short price but given the fact that Celta Vigo have difficulty finding the back of the net and Atheltico Madrid make scoring goals seem effortless, it has the feel of an “end of the world” type performance by Athletico and a comfortable win for the home side.
