Preview
Atletico Madrid head into this after a 1-1 draw in their Round of 16 UEFA Champions League 1st leg clash against Manchester United.
Felix and Elanga scored for either side to set up an exciting return leg next month. However, Atletico was the better side and missed a couple of good opportunities to put the game to beg as they hit the bar a couple of times.
A win last week in the La Liga vs Osasuna got them back to winning ways and with another win, they can enter the top 4 of the table.
Currently, the defending champions are 5th with 42 points.
On the other hand, Celta Vigo drew 1-1 at home to Levante in their previous La Liga clash.

Cervi and Roger scored for either side to ensure a share of the spoils, leaving Celta in 9th place with 32 points.
Vigo is unbeaten in their last 5 matches and hope to continue the good work against an inconsistent Atletico side.
Both sides met in August earlier this season, where Atletico won 2-1 away from home.
Correa scored a brace for the champions while Aspas found the net for Celta.

Atletico Madrid possible 11: Â
Oblak, Vrsaljko, Gimenez, Savic, Lodi, Llorente, Herrera, Kondogbia, Carrasco, Felix and Suarez
Celta Vigo possible 11:
Dituro, Galan, Araujo, Aidoo, Mallo, Mendez, Suarez, Beltran, Cervi, Mina and Aspas
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Celta Vigo
Atletico would be buoyed by the mid-week UCL performance and we expect him to put in a similar one this time as well.
Vigo has a decent away record this season similar to their opponents. Hence, we see them pushing Atletico to the wall. However, the hosts should nick this one.
Players to watch out for: Felix, Herrera, Aspas and Cervi.
