Celta Vigo come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Cadiz in La Liga last weekend. It was a hugely disappointing result against at team who have now moved above them in the battle to avoid relegation. The only goal of the match was scored in the 53rd minute and the result leaves Celta Vigo just 1 point above the drop zone.
The loss at Cadiz means Celta Vigo have failed to win any of their last 6 fixtures, all of which have been played in La Liga. They have lost to Villarreal, Getafe, Athletic Club, and Cadiz away plus Valencia at home. The only point from the last 18 available came thanks to a 1-1 draw at home with Girona.
Home form in the league shows Celta Vigo have won just 1 of their last 5 matches. The victory came over Elche but there have been defeats against Valencia and Mallorca plus draws with Almeria and Girona. Celta Vigo have failed to score more than a single goal in their 4 most recent home La Liga fixtures.
Barcelona travel to the Abanca-Balaídos in a relaxed move having already secured the title. They beat Mallorca 3-0 at home in La Liga last weekend, opening the scoring in the first minute of the match and adding a second goal in the 24th minute. Barcelona added a third goal in the 70th minute to seal a comfortable victory against ten men.
The win over Mallorca means Barcelona have won 4 of their last 6 games in La Liga. The additional wins have come over Real Betis and Osasuna at home plus Espanyol away. However, there have been 2 defeats in their last 3 league fixtures, with the losses coming at home against Real Sociedad and away to Real Valladolid.
Away form in La Liga shows Barcelona are undefeated in 10 of their last 13 away trips and have kept a clean sheet in 7 of those 13 matches.
Team news and Celta Vigo have no injury or suspension concerns ahead of this game.
Barcelona on the other hand will be without the injured trio of Álex Balde, Pedri, and Ronald Araujo.
The relegation battle in La Liga is going to go down to the wire, with several teams involved, including Celta Vigo. Unfortunately for Celta Vigo, they could be left hoping results elsewhere go their way as they come up against the champions. Barcelona will be aiming to finish the season on a high and could come away with a comfortable victory.
