After a tough match in the
UEFA Champions League, FC
Barcelona travel to Galicia
for a challenging match
against Celta Vigo. Celta had
a midweek match on
Thursday: a Europa League
match against Panathinaikos
they won 2-0. The match will
kickoff Sunday night at
7.45pm at Celta Vigo’s
stadium, Balaídos.

In the last five matches
between the teams, Barça
has managed to win three,
while Celta Vigo has two
wins. You might remember
their last meeting at Camp
Nou, a 6-1 win for Barça, for
the famous Lionel Messi
penalty-assist for Luis
Suárez, which was actually
meant for Neymar
.

Recent form Barcelona last match: Starting XI: ter Stegen – Roberto, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba – Iniesta, Busquets, Rakitic (Turan, 60′) – Paco (Rafinha, 54′), Suárez, Neymar Result: 2-1 win, goals by Turan (65′) and Piqué (74′) Barcelona last 5 matches: W- W-D-W-W Celta Vigo last match: Starting XI: Alvarez – Jonny, Fontas, Cabral, Mallo – Hernandez, Diaz, Rossi (Aspas, 79′) – Naranjo (Sisto, 60′), Guidetti, Sene (Wass, 71′) Result: 2-0 win, goals by Guidetti (84′) and Wass (89′) Celta Vigo last 5 matches: W- W-W-D-D

Team news Barça is still missing Messi due to a hamstring injury, while Samuel Umtiti is still not cleared to play. Celta Vigo is missing Beauvue (achilles), Orellana (muscle), Néstor Diáz and Carles Planas to injuries. None of the teams are facing any suspensions. Expect Celta to start with a different lineup than the last match, at least the three substitutes, Wass, Sisto and Aspas, as changes. Don’t be expecting many changes for Barcelona, as it’s never easy playing at Balaídos. Though Arda Turan or Rafinha could start instead of Paco Alcacer on the right side.

Match Prediction A tough 2-1 victory for Barcelona.
