Heading into Friday's clash, Madrid carry a perfect away record against Celta since a 2-0 defeat in May 2014, yet supporters flood social media with dread, convinced the stat dooms them like the Getafe upset. Injuries plague the Blancos—Éder Militão out until April, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy sidelined—while sixth-placed Celta thrive at home, scoring in 11 of 13 Balaídos matches and already beating Madrid 2-0 earlier this season. History favors Madrid with 82 wins in 138 meetings, but shaky form and fan paranoia heighten the stakes as they trail Barcelona by four points.

Key Takeaway

Real Madrid boasts an unbeaten run in 12 straight away games at Celta Vigo's Balaídos. But fans see it as a jinx after a similar streak ended in last weekend's shock home loss to Getafe.
