Barcelona News
Barcelona’s wait for European success continues after their UEFA Champions League exit, despite a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in their most recent outing.
That result marked eight wins in the last 10 matches for Hansi Flick’s side, who are on a seven-game winning streak in La Liga. They’ve also been free-scoring, netting in 12 of their last 13 matches, though just one clean sheet in eight highlights defensive concerns.
Barca have been dominant at home, winning 20 of their last 21 matches in front of their own fans. They’ve also won 11 of their last 12 home league games by at least a two-goal margin. The Catalan giants have been entertaining to watch at Camp Nou, where they have produced over 3.5 goals in three of their last four home league games.
Celta Vigo News
Celta Vigo are struggling for form, losing their last three matches and conceding at least three goals in each of those games. They were also knocked out of the UEFA Europa League after a 3-1 defeat to Freiburg in their last match.
The Sky Blues have slipped to sixth in La Liga, two points behind fifth-placed Real Betis. They’ve lost five of their last 10 matches in all competitions but have scored in eight of those, while managing just one clean sheet in that run.
Claudio Giraldez’s side, meanwhile, can draw some inspiration from their decent away form, having lost just twice and won four of their last 10 road games. However, just one win in their last five against top-four sides underlines the challenge here. Celta have also been involved in high-scoring contests, with over 2.5 goals recorded in seven of their last 10 matches.
Head to Head
Barcelona hold the edge with six wins in the last 10 meetings, compared to Celta Vigo’s two. They are unbeaten in the last five clashes and have scored four goals across their last two encounters, including a 4-2 win back in November.
Verdict
Barcelona v Celta Vigo
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Celta and have won 11 of their last 12 home league matches by at least a two-goal margin. The hosts are backed for another win, even with a potential one-goal handicap.
Nine of the last 10 meetings between these sides have produced goals at both ends, and their attacking styles suggest that trend will continue. With four of the last five clashes delivering at least four goals, backing over 3.5 goals looks appealing.
