Barca look for three points as they host Celta Vigo
Kick-off : 1:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona are currently on top of the table with 35 points from 13 games. They know they will need to keep winning games to stay at top.
It could have been three points at the weekend for Barca but they had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Valencia.
On the other hand, Celta Vigo are currently ninth on the table with 17 points from 13 games. They know that Barcelona will be a sterner test for them.
So far Barcelona and Celta Vigo have played each other 38 times. Out of that Barca have won 20 times while Celta Vigo have just won 9 times, 9 other games have been a draw.
It should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.
Team news and possible line-ups
Sergi Gomez will not be available for Barcelona game as due to calf injury. While Jonny Castro will also be not available as due to suspension.
As for Barcelona, Ousmane Dembele, Sergi Roberto, Javier Mascherano and Rafinha are all sidelined for Saturday’s match due to their respective injuries.
While Andre Gomes is doubtful for the weekend game.
Celta Vigo XI : Alvarez, Mallo, Fontas, Cabral, Roncaglia, Radoja, Hernandez, Sisto, Aspas, Guidetti, Gomez.
Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Alcacer, Suarez.
Prediction
While it’s not a given that Barcelona will win on Saturday, they certainly are the favorites. I expect Barcelona to get the job done and earn three points. The scoreline could be 3-1. The goalscorers might be Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta for Barca and Iago Aspas for Celta Vigo.
