Barcelona-Celta Vigo, is a La Liga Week 6 match and is played on Saturday at 18:30: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
Five consecutive wins between the league and Champions League. And now the Spanish champions Barcelona are starting to scare in Europe too. A perfect machine built by Xavi, who took just one game to get going, the one on his debut in the Spanish league, then only smiles. And goals galore.
Against Antwerp in Europe’s top competition on Tuesday, Joao Felix also broke through in the cup: an element capable of making a difference at all times but who had lost his smile in recent seasons between Atletico and Chelsea. Rediscovered at the court of a coach who gave him confidence and repaid him with a brace in his first European outing this season. And then Cancelo also seems to have entered the mechanisms, the end-of-market hit, who has laid down the law on the right with his usual plays of superfine technique. In short, a real orchestra.
The objective for the Catalans, in their third consecutive home fixture, is to overcome Real Madrid at least for one night and put pressure on Ancelotti’s team, which until now has always won, even if several times with difficulty. Celta Vigo do not seem to be a difficult team to overcome at the moment: four points in five games, four goals scored and seven conceded. In short, there is more than something to be sorted out inside the visiting ranks. Which despite having had plenty of time to prepare for this match, unlike the Catalans, will not be able to return home with any points.
The Prediction
Victory without any particular problem for Xavi’s Barcelona, who will score what will be their sixth win in a row this season. Match that should give at least three goals in total. Joao Felix should play from the start again, so look out for what could be his umpteenth goal in this start to the season in a blaugrana shirt.
