Atleti-Celta: Chasing the Streak
This Saturday, Atlético de Madrid hosts Celta de Vigo at the Metropolitano with the aim of extending their historical dominance over the Galician team. The Rojiblancos have not lost any of their last 12 league matches against Celta, adding seven consecutive victories, their best historical streak against this rival.
Furthermore, Atleti has kept a clean sheet in the last four matches against Celta in LaLiga, a fact that reflects the defensive solidity shown in these duels. Despite this hegemony, Atleti will seek to rediscover their best form after dropping points in three of their last four league commitments, after a streak of eight consecutive victories.
For their part, Celta arrives at the Metropolitano after a revitalizing victory against Real Betis, although they have not chained two consecutive wins since the start of the season.
A name to consider is Antoine Griezmann, who has scored 11 goals in 24 matches against Celta in LaLiga, 10 of them as an Atlético player, being the opponent against whom he has scored the most goals with the Rojiblanca shirt in the competition.
Cholo Simeone also presents favorable numbers against Celta, having won 19 of his 25 matches against them in LaLiga. Without a doubt, a key match to continue adding points and secure a place in the upper part of the table.
