Real Madrid vs Celtic FC - 02/11/2022
6862
The final round of fixtures in Champions League Group F will take place on the 2nd of November, including the meeting between Real Madrid and Celtic.
The match will take place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and the host begin the game sitting top of the group on 10 points while the visitors are bottom on 2 points.
Real Madrid come into the game having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Girona in La Liga on the weekend.
Having opened the scoring in the 70th minute, Real Madrid fans were confident their team were going to take maximum points but Girona struck back 10 minutes later to take a point. Toni Kroos was sent off late on for a second bookable offence.
That result means Real Madrid have failed to win their last 2 games in all competitions. Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season in a 3-2 loss at RB Leipzig in their most recent Champions League fixture. RB Leipzig scored 2 goals inside 18 minutes and Real Madrid failed to recover fully from their slow start.
Real Madrid have dropped points in their last 2 Champions League matches having been held by Shakhtar Donetsk and beaten by RB Leipzig.
However, Real Madrid are unbeaten in 6 of their last 7 home matches in the Champions League. They have scored 2 or more goals in each of their last 7 home Champions League games.
Celtic make the trip to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on the back of a 3-0 win at Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on the weekend. Having opened the scoring in the 9th minute, there was only going to be one winner.
That result means Celtic are undefeated in their last 5 fixtures in all competitions. They have won 3 games in the Scottish Premiership, one in the Scottish League Cup and picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at home with Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
However, form in the Champions League is poor and Celtic have failed to win any of their last 8 games in the competition.
Conceding goals has been a problem for Celtic and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their 8 most recent Champions League matches.
Team news and Real Madrid have doubts over the fitness of Aurelien Tchouameni and Karim Benzema. Every other player should be fit and available for the hosts.
Celtic are without injured defender Stephen Welsh. The visitors could also be without Callum McGregor and Carl Starfelt who have both been suffering from a knee injury.
Celtic have struggled in the Champions League this season and Real Madrid must be considered huge favourites for this game.
The Champions League holders know a win will seal top spot in the group and they should comfortably come out on top, scoring plenty of goals and keeping a clean sheet.
