Barcelona vs Celta Vigo 23.09.2023 Prediction: La Liga

Match Overview

Barcelona host Celta Vigo in a match in the sixth round of La Liga at the Estadi Olimpic on 23 September, Saturday. The home team will feel that they might have a big upper hand over their opponents, who are not quite known to be as expressive on the pitch as they are supposed to be. Celta Vigo will have their tasks cut out against this strong Barcelona team.

Key Highlights 

Barcelona, who come into this game on the back of a stunning 5-0 win over Royal Antwerp in the Champions League, will feel that they can win this game comfortably. Celta Vigo, on their part, were beaten by Mallorca by a narrow yet significant 0-1 scoreline in their last game. This will not really do their confidence a world of good. Barcelona will hope to lead.

Injury Report

Ronald Araujo and Pedri continue to be ruled out for Barcelona whereas Celta Vigo will have to miss out on the services of Franco Cervi in this game.

Prediction

Barcelona appear to be the downright favourites to win this game over Celta Vigo. We expect them to do so quite comfortably. They have not been beaten in the last five matches that they have played and kept the most number of clean sheets in the competition so far as well. This should end up being a rather lopsided contest between these two teams, despite Celta Vigo having beaten Barcelona earlier this year in June.
