The penultimate fixture of the weekend in La Liga sees Celta Vigo travel to the Spotify Camp Nou to play Barcelona.
The match will be played on the 8th of October and the hosts begin the weekend top of the table on 19 points while the visitors are in 11th place on 10 points.
Barcelona come into the match having lost 1-0 at Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The only goal of the game was scored on the stroke of half time and Inter Milan defended well in the second half to prevent Barcelona from scoring. However, Barcelona will feel they should have had a penalty for handball.
That was the second defeat in 4 matches for Barcelona having also lost 2-0 at Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
However, form in La Liga has been excellent and Barcelona have won each of their last 6 league fixtures. There have been wins over Real Valladolid and Elche at home plus Real Sociedad, Sevilla, Cadiz, and Mallorca away.
Trend show Barcelona are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home La Liga games. There have been 4 wins in those 6 matches and Barcelona have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 3 home league games. Barcelona have scored 3 or more goals in 3 of their last 5 home La Liga matches.
Celta Vigo travel to the Spotify Camp Nou having recorded a 1-0 home victory over Real Betis last weekend.
Celta Vigo opened the scoring after only 9 minutes and with Real Betis reduced to 10 men in the 20th minute, they held on to take maximum points.
It was an important win for Celta Vigo who had lost their previous 2 La Liga fixtures. Both games were played away and Celta Vigo lost 4-1 at Atletico Madrid and 3-0 at Valencia.
Away form in La Liga has been poor and Celta Vigo have recorded only 2 wins from their last 13 away trips. They have lost 4 of their last 5 away league games and conceding goals has been a problem.
Trends show Celta Vigo have conceded 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 away La Liga matches but they have managed to find the back of the net themselves in 5 of their last 7 league games on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Barcelona have five players in the treatment room, with Hector Bellerin, Ronald Araujo, Frenkie De Jong, Memphis Depay, and Jules Kounde all set to miss out.
Celta Vigo have no injury or suspension concerns and should be at full strength for this match.
Barcelona will be disappointed with their midweek result but their form in La Liga has been excellent. Celta Vigo have been struggling on the road and we expect to see Barcelona bounce back with a win in this game. Both teams could score and there could be over 3.5 goals in total.
