Goaloo Preview
In the Spanish championship, the "royal club" is doing relatively well – second place. Yes, they have to compete with Barcelona, and not always successfully. But the upcoming opponent of Real Madrid is not as serious. Against Celtic, they can take the ball, combine well, and approach the opponent's goal. At home, the "Blancos" usually score. The upcoming match is unlikely to be an exception.

In the current circumstances, the Scottish players are underdogs. The away factor might become quite a serious problem for them. Especially since Spain has slightly different climatic conditions. Recently, the situation for the Scottish giant has not been too good – two defeats in a row without scoring any goals. This indicates that there may be problems in creating chances on the field in Madrid as well.

Goaloo Prediction
It is absolutely logical that bookmakers consider the hosts as favorites of the match. Our editorial team draws attention to the difference in class between the players of both teams. Real Madrid should dominate possession, interactions, and often decision-making. Celtic might put up a fight but only through defensive qualities. And up to a certain point, the defense should work. But once the "royal" club scores the first goal, the game will inevitably open up, and a 4:0 scoreline is not excluded. A rout might happen. Therefore, we see a good decision in betting on Real Madrid to win with a handicap (-2.5).

Pick: Real Madrid (W) Handicap (-2.5)
