Pre-match analysis and preview

Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Where full-quality xG is available, Real Madrid average 2.27 xG and 0.77 xGA over 5 recent matches; Celta Vigo average 1.28 xG and 0.85 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

The database contains 5 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.
