Celta Vigo-Barcelona is a match valid for the 25th day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 6:30pm: tv, formations and predictions
Drawing at home against Granada, Xavi’s Barcelona lost the chance to move closer to Girona in an important way. A pity for the blaugrana, who will now also be engaged in the Champions League and could lose points as a result. Qualification for the next Champions at the moment is not in question, however, Bilbao, which is currently fifth in the standings, is only five lengths away. In short, serenity yes, but not more than that.
And the commitment at home to Rafa Benitez’s Celta Vigo for the Catalans is anything but easy. The hosts, in fact, are in fourth last place in the standings only three points away from relegation. Therefore, it needs a positive result from Celta Vigo, which, however, has a fairly revisable record among its home walls. Two wins and three defeats in the last five home matches, a roster that a little worries.
Normally, for such a match, we would serenely say that there would be no problem for Barcelona but right now that’s just not the case. Having said the Catalan moment, and having also said the standings situation of Celta, we feel you should not disregard for any reason in the world the possibility of a final draw.
The prediction
With the Champions League just around the corner that will take away mental energy, as early as the match against Celta Vigo Barcelona could pay the price. Match then from at least one goal per team, for sure. And then watch out for the possibility of an X. We wouldn’t be surprised.
