Barcelona

WWDWWL

Barcelona will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 3-1 Champions League loss in their previous game against Borussia Dortmund.

In that match, Barcelona had 54% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Borussia Dortmund had 18 shots at goal with 11 on target. Serhou Guirassy (11', 49', 76') and Ramy Bensebaini (54' Own goal) scored for Borussia Dortmund.

Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that much solidity has been shown by the Barcelona defence. Barcelona have been miserly, seeing the tally of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past 6 games standing at 3. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be continued here, though.

Their past results show that Barcelona:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Celta Vigo in their previous 3 matches.
• are undefeated in their last 7 home league matches.

Celta Vigo

DWWDWL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Espanyol in La Liga competition, Celta Vigo will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Celta Vigo had 64% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Espanyol got 5 shots on goal with 3 on target. Roberto Fernández (28', 63') was the scorer for Espanyol.

The numbers tell their own story, and Celta Vigo have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 7 goals in all. At the back, Celta Vigo could really do with shoring things up.

A look at their previous results shows us that Celta Vigo:

• haven't beaten Barcelona when they've played them away from home in the last 3 league games.
• have not been beaten in their last 4 away league matches.

👥 Head to head

Looking at their most recent head to head meetings dating back to 10/05/2022 shows that Barcelona have won 4 of these and Celta Vigo 1, with the tally of draws standing at 1.

In all, 20 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 12 for Barça and 8 belonging to Os Celestes. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.33.

The previous league encounter between the two was La Liga match day 14 on 23/11/2024 and the score finished Celta Vigo 2-2 Barcelona.

In that game, Celta Vigo had 41% possession and 15 shots on goal with 8 on target. The scorers were Alfon González (84') and Hugo Álvarez (86').

On the other side, Barcelona had 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Raphinha (15') and Robert Lewandowski (61') scored.

The referee was César Soto Grado.

📋 Team News: Barcelona

Alejandro Balde (Hamstring injury), Marc Casadó (Ligament injury), Marc-André ter Stegen (Patellar tendon rupture) and Marc Bernal (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Barcelona boss Hansi Flick.

In our view, Barça will possibly line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, utilising Wojciech Szczesny, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Gerard Martin, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.

📰 Team News: Celta Vigo

It’s our belief that Os Celestes could decide to play in a 3-4-3 formation, settling for Vicente Guaita, Javi Rodriguez, Carlos Dominguez, Marcos Alonso, Sergio Carreira, Fran Beltran, Ilaix Moriba, Oscar Mingueza, Iago Aspas, Borja Iglesias and Alfon Gonzalez.

💭 Prediction

We’re thinking that Barcelona will most probably convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, Celta Vigo may well struggle finding the net themselves but we can see them scoring here.

We’re therefore anticipating a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Barcelona at the end of the match.

📖 ⚽️ What are the best odds for this match?

Looking at what the bookmakers’ view is of this game on the WDW market, the win for Barcelona can be had for 1.3, going for a drawn result is 6 and taking a punt on the winning team to be Celta Vigo is 8.5. Those are the most competitive bets on offer at the current time.
