The Los Blancos seem to be growing out of the slump. They are coming off the back of a 3-0 win against Real Sociedad and are 4 points ahead of Barcelona with a game in hand. Ronaldo and Co. capitalised on a faltering Barcelona and Sevilla and stretched 

Zinedine Zidane had the perfect answer for the critics. With a bad start to 2017 many were questioning the Frenchman whether his team can weather the storm. On a day when they their rivals failed to take advantage, Madrid took the opportunity.

But Real Madrid have to be cautious when they make the trip to the Balaídos. Celta Vigo has won the last 5 out of the 6 home matches. They are a considerable force in their home ground. They will be confident going into this match and can take inspiration from their Copa Del Rey victory. Although, this Real Madrid will be a different beast to quell.

Real Madrid have a fit and scoring Ronaldo which will do well for confidence. Mateo Kovacic in the midfield was on fire in the previous fixture. It won’t be a surprise if he is on the pitch against Vigo.

It will be fascinating to see who will Zidane choose as the striker. Karim Benzema was far off from his best. To add more bad news, his substitute, Alvaro Morata came on and scored a goal which made it 3-0 for the Los Blancos against Sociedad.

Real Madrid have a chance to add another vital 3 points to the table. With the game in hand, it means they have a spare 3 points which will help them later in the season to get ahead of their rivals. All they need to do is go on a winning run. At Celta Vigo they can do exactly that.
