Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Odds

Barcelona Team News

Last season, Barcelona regained the Spanish championship title more easily than expected, and judging by the start of the new season, they intend to replicate that success this year. After five matches, Barcelona is in second place with 13 points, two less than the first-placed Real Madrid.

The only setback for the home team occurred in the first round when they played a goalless draw against Getafe away. This match garnered much attention due to the red cards shown to Raphinha and coach Xavi. However, even with those setbacks, Barcelona had opportunities to secure a victory, but the referee did not award an obvious penalty for Barcelona, even after VAR intervention.

Following that match, Barcelona went on a four-game winning streak in La Liga, with the standout being the match against Betis (5:0) and the debut of Joao Felix, whose arrival significantly improved Barcelona’s performance. This improvement was evident in the first group stage of Champions league, where Barcelona demolished Antwerp 5:0, and the young Portuguese player once again proved to be the best on the pitch.

Celta Vigo Team News

In the previous season, due to poor results at the end of the championship, Celta came to a situation where they needed a victory against Barcelona at home in the last round to ensure survival. Given that the team from Catalonia entered the match relieved because they had already won the title, Celta achieved a significant victory and preserved their status in the league.

The situation is different this time because Barcelona needs points to preserve the winning streak in the race with Real Madrid, while on the other hand, Celta cannot boast of good form at the start of the championship. After five matches, the visitors are in sixteenth place in the table, with only four points won, one more than the relegation zone. Interestingly, they were defeated in three matches at home, against Osasuna, Real Madrid, and Mallorca. At the same time, the draw with Sociedad and the victory against Almeria were achieved on away games.

Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Joao Felix has experienced a revival since joining Barcelona. He has seamlessly integrated into the team’s style of play, and it’s a real shame that he spent time at Atletico Madrid, which, under Diego Simeone’s leadership, emphasizes an ultra-defensive approach. In his first two matches for Barcelona, he has scored three goals and provided two assists, and there’s no doubt that his confidence is high. For this reason, we expect the young Portuguese forward to find the back of the net in the match against Celta.
