Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Preview

Barcelona will be looking to maintain their slender lead at top of the league table when they face Celta Viga in a tricky La Liga clash.

Form

Barcelona have been on a hot streak of form and despite a 3-1 loss to Dortmund in the second leg have won eight of their last ten games in all competitions.

Hansi Flick's side are unbeaten in 12 league games with 11 wins and 2 draws.

They have been lethal in front of goal as they have scored two or more goals in six of their last ten league matches with five games featuring Over 2.5 goals.

They have also been defensively solid as they have kept five clean sheets in eight league games.

Barcelona have won six of their last seven home league games.

Celta Vigo are on a solid run of form heading into this fixture with five wins, three draws and one defeat in their last nine league games.

They have been defensively porous, conceding in eight of their last ten matches with seven of those games featuring both teams to score.

Celta Vigo have improved in attack as they have scored two or more goals in four of their last ten La Liga games with five matches seeing Over 2.5 goals.

Six of their last seven away league games have seen both teams finding the back of the net while Celta have won just two of their last ten away league matches.

Verdict

Barcelona v Celta Vigo

The last four meetings between both teams have seen Over 2.5 goals and with Celta's vulnerability in defense, I'll be backing Barcelona to win and Over 2.5 goals.
