Real Madrid

Do not forget the fact that it has been a difficult season for Madrid. Zidane left last summer with the delivery of three consecutive titles of the Champions League; Julen Lopetegui was his replacement, but the former head of Spain was fired before the end of October.

Santiago Solari was Lopetegui's replacement and led Los Blancos to the 2018 Club World Cup, and there were some positive signs in the early stages of 2019, as the team achieved a solid winning streak.

However, it has been a disastrous few weeks, with consecutive defeats at home against Barcelona over the course of three days that ended their hopes in the Copa del Rey and left them out of rhythm in La Liga. Ajax then won 4-1 at the Bernabéu last week to defeat the Spanish giants in the Champions League round of 16.

RM vs CEV

It had been thought that Solari would be fired after the loss to Ajax, but that was not the case. In fact, the former club midfielder managed a 4-1 victory over Real Valladolid in the league last weekend, which proved to be his last game in charge with Zidane now in the hotseat.

In its current form, Madrid is third in La Liga, with 12 points less than the leaders of Barcelona. Unless something pretty amazing happens, Zidane will not be able to restart a title challenge. However, there is no doubt that Atletico Madrid, who is in second place, will be in his sights, however, since the team of Diego Simeone only has five points ahead.

As for what is to come, Madrid will finish the month at home against Huesca on March 31, before facing Valencia, Eibar, Leganés, Athletic Bilbao, Getafe and Rayo Vallecano in April. The last three games of the 2018-19 campaign team are against Villarreal, Real Sociedad and Real Betis, and it would not be a surprise to see the Whites undefeated from now until the end of the season.

However, his problems are deeper than the administration, and the president, Florentino Perez, will know that his team will have to spend a lot in the transfer market this summer to be a force again next season.

It seems likely that a renowned striker will arrive as Cristiano Ronaldo was not replaced properly last summer, but the club's first confirmed signing is Eder Militao de Porto, with 21 years of age agreeing a six-year contract with the European champion.

Celta Vigo

Celta has been present in each of the last seven seasons of La Liga, but faces the real possibility of falling in the Second Division for the 2019-2020 campaign. In fact, a total of 25 points has left them in 18th place, entering Week 28 on the first flight from Spain.

Six wins, seven draws and 14 defeats, that's how Celta has played in the league this period. They were quite solid in the first half of the campaign, but their form since just before the winter break has been disastrous.

Only one victory has come in their last 12 league games; That was at home against Sevilla in early February, but since then they have lost four of their five, which has left them in a battle at the end of the table.

However, Celta's situation is far from terminal, since only one point separates them from Villarreal, which occupies the 17th place, while in reality they are only five points out of 15 and still rely on getting out of trouble.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the absence of Iago Aspas has seriously damaged the Sky Blues. The Spaniard has 10 league goals to his name this season, but he only played 24 minutes of league football in 2019 due to a problematic problem in the calf.

However, Fran Escrib's team also has serious problems at the other end, as only Rayo Vallecano (48) and Levante (48) conceded more goals in the league this season. They have a lot of talent in advanced positions, but they always give opportunities to the opposition, which is a concern considering their place in the table.

Since 2000, Celta faced Madrid 26 times in La Liga and recorded only four victories, while Zidane's return to the Bernabéu means it is probably the worst moment to face the injured giants.

The fact that the team of Escrib remains in the top category this season will not depend on their result this weekend, but will have a great game at home against Villarreal after the international break, before visiting their colleagues in Huesca. early April.

Team News

Sergio Ramos missed the last two games of Madrid through the suspension, but the Spaniard will return to the XI starter this weekend and it is expected that there will be some great calls from Zidane.

Vinicius Junior, Marcos Llorente, Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez are not available due to injury, but Gareth Bale is back from the ankle injury that forced him to miss the victory over Valladolid and should start.

Casemiro is suspended, however, which means there could be a place for Dani Ceballos alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in the middle of the park.

On the other hand, Marcelo has been in serious disagreement in recent weeks, but could recover on the left side, while Álvaro Odriozola and Marco Asensio are in line for the beginning, and have also fought for minutes with Solari.

There should also be a place on the team for Isco, another player who will suffer under the previous regime.

As for Celta, Aspas is still on the sidelines with a calf problem, which means Maxi Gomez could be forced to play as the only striker once again.

Gómez remains strongly linked to a move away from the club, and it would not be a surprise to see Uruguay's international movement, even if Celta stays in the league.

Pione Sisto left the bench against Sociedad last weekend and could start, while Wesley Hoedt will also look for a place in the XI.
