Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-1 in favor of Atletico Madrid.
Atletico's fresh rotated squad may control possession and tempo. Celta's defensive gaps exploitable but their sharp finishing poses counter-threat. Over 2.5 goals likely given both teams' scoring patterns. Atletico's set-piece dominance vs Celta's weak defensive organization.
Atletico's home advantage, superior league position, and recent form strongly favor hosts. However, Celta's attacking prowess and defensive frailties suggest competitive high-scoring match. Champions League qualification pressure on Atletico may influence tactical approach.
