Celta Vigo host reigning Spanish and European champions Real Madrid as La Liga gets back underway on Saturday night.
Claudio Giraldez was hurriedly promoted from Celta’s B team to take over from former Madrid boss Rafa Benitez last season.
The 36-year-old steered the club away from relegation and has enjoyed such an impressive start to the new campaign that he penned a new three-year contract over this month’s international break.
Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti is at the other end of his coaching career. The veteran manager will take charge of his 200th La Liga game from the helm of the capital club this weekend, trying to close the gap up to early pace-setters Barcelona.
Celta Vigo predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (5-3-2): Guaita; Mingueza, Manquillo, Starfelt, Alonso, Alvarez; Sotelo, Beltran, Swedberg; Duran, Iglesias.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Celta Vigo (4-3-3): Courtois; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius.
