Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Celta Vigo could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Real Madrid.

Celta Vigo will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in La Liga to four matches when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Real Madrid on Saturday afternoon.

Eduardo Coudet's side will again be without the services of Ruben Blanco and Sergio Alvarez this weekend through injury, while Emre Mor is battling to overcome a muscular problem.

Celta, who are currently 10th in the table, will be able to welcome back Hugo Mallo, though, with the defender serving a one-game suspension against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.

Mallo should return to the XI at right-back, replacing Kevin Vazquez in the process, but it could otherwise be the same side that took to the field against Athletic.

Renato Tapia and Denis Suarez should line up in the middle of the park, with Nolito and Brais Mendez operating in the wide areas, meaning that Fran Beltran is likely to be on the bench once again.

There are also not expected to be any surprises in the final third of the field, with Santi Mina getting the nod over Facundo Ferreyra to feature alongside Iago Aspas as part of a front two.

Aspas has scored nine times and registered eight assists in 23 La Liga outings this term, while he has scored four times in 13 appearances against Madrid in all competitions.

Celta Vigo possible starting lineup: Villar; Mallo, Araujo, Murillo, Martin; Mendez, Tapia, D Suarez, Nolito; Mina, Aspas
