Each time Celta hosts Barcelona, it’s usually a spectacle. The team from Vigo is very nasty at home, and we’ve seen several big-time wins over Barcelona at their Balaidos. Given the tradition, the form, and the statistics, this should be another exciting matchup.
Celta Vigo News
Celta Vigo plays more or less solid football this year. They’ve secured five wins from their first 13 matches and are now sitting 11th in La Liga standings, just one point outside the top half of the table. With their last two games unbeaten, morale should be high as they aim to extend their run.
This would be their first streak of three games without a loss since the campaign kicked in. The team from Vigo scored 20 goals and conceded two more.
Barcelona News
Barcelona looks fantastic under Hansi Flick. Since the German manager took over the head coaching position, Blaugrana exploded. The Catalan giants are currently six points clear at the top of the league, having won eleven of their first 13 matches.
Barcelona’s attacking play has been exceptional, scoring a league-leading 40 goals so far. However, they must bounce back after a surprising loss just before the international break. Just to remind, it was a defeat to Real Sociedad in San Sebastian, 1-0.
Celta Vigo vs. Barcelona Head-to-Head
Barca isn’t doing particularly well at Balaidos. The Catalan powerhouse has only had two wins in the past nine trips to Galicia, and since the start of this millennium, Barcelona has lost seven of 17 games in Vigo.
