Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

Real Madrid's players have steamrolled their way through the early stages of this La Liga season. Manager Carlo Ancelotti's vibrant, attacking team currently leads the table by two points ahead of Barcelona, managed by ex-Celta Vigo boss Luis Enrique.

Celta are finding goals harder to come by under the direction of new gaffer Eduardo Berizzo. The former Vigo centre-back has seen his team draw a blank in three of its last four games.

That's bad news against a Los Blancos squad armed with awesome firepower.

It's difficult to see anything other than more goals and a win for Madrid. Vigo's last three uninspiring results in the league certainly help strengthen that view.

Berizzo's men followed a goalless draw with Granada by losing 1-0 away to Rayo Vallecano and by the same score at home to Eibar, per Sky Sports. Contrast that with the form of Los Merengues.

Ancelotti's squad has reeled off 17 wins in all competitions to begin the season. That's distinctive, even by the club's illustrious standards, as Opta Jose noted:

Fluency, creativity and particularly goals have been the foundation of that winning run. The forward line hasn't skipped a beat despite the summer sale of playmaker Angel Di Maria.

New boy James Rodriguez has more than filled the void. His flair has combined wonderfully with the athletic power of the rampaging Cristiano Ronaldo and the technical guile of Karim Benzema.

Rodriguez has made a fast start to life in the Spanish capital since moving from AS Monaco in the summer:

But it's Ronaldo who's likely to concern Berizzo the most. That makes sense when considering the Portuguese forward's habit for tormenting Celta.

The Real Madrid official Twitter feed provided numbers Berizzo's likely to see in his nightmares:

Berizzo will want midfield destroyer Michael Krohn-Dehli to work overtime trying to break up play in the middle. His team's hopes of snatching anything will rely, as they often do, on crafty forward Nolito.

Celta may look hopelessly overmatched. But it's worth noting that Vigo have defied the odds once already this season. Back in early November, they went to the Camp Nou and stunned Barca 0-1.

Predicted Final Score: Real Madrid 3-1 Celta Vigo

Berizzo's side will frustrate for as long as possible, but there's simply too much speed, movement and ingenuity across the Madrid forward line. The Ronaldo-Rodriguez-Benzema trio will again be the difference and continue Madrid's record-setting streak.
