| Celta de Vigo v Real Madrid: Success or Adios for Capello
Real Madrid are currently five points behind Sevilla and Barcelona, and unless coach, Fabio Capello, can galvanise his side to overhaul that gap by the end of the season, he is unlikely to be in charge next season. There has been continued speculation surrounding the Italian's future, but that is nothing new for Real Madrid, where success is demanded not expected. This pressure may explain why Los Blancos have picked up more points on the road, and also have a better scoring record away from the expectations of the Bernabeu. Madrid have another opportunity to add to their away tally when they visit struggling Celta Vigo, who have the worst home record in La Liga. .
Real Madrid attempts to score through advertising
Real Madrid has resorted to fieldside ads to get backing from its fans as Europe's most successful soccer team seeks to end its worst run in 53 years. Prone to jeering at home games, supporters treat the Santiago Bernabeu stadium "like a theatre" and don't back their team, according to Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon. "We need you" and "Help us to win" said the electronic ads during yesterday's 2-0 home victory against 10-man Nastic. Unhappy fans began whistling after 20 minutes of the match against second-last Nastic. .
