Barcelona have been the most consistent side in La Liga this season; they have been scoring a plenty and save for the small patch where they twice had two draws and a loss to mark three winless outings this season, they have not disappointed. They have won five of their last six matches and in each of their last three league matches they have also won and kept straight clean sheets, scoring 11 in the run. Barca have also scored twice or more in each of their last eight matches and have just one loss in 44 home matches in La Liga. The Catalans play host to a Celta Vigo side on three wins in the last 15 matches and 13 points separate the two, with Celta Vigo on 21 points and with just three clean sheets in the last 15 matches. It has not been very good away from home for Celta Vigo; they have won just two of the eight matches they have played away in the league this season, and they have no clean sheet. They have conceded two or more in the last five away matches, and in six of their last eight. Barcelona have not been the best side in terms of defending but a huge goal return means they are the team with the biggest goal difference. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have scored more than half of the team’s goals this season – Messi netting 14 and Suarez 11 of the 46 goals the team has managed so far. Seven of the last eight meetings between the two sides have ended in over 2.5 goals while in 42 meetings, Barcelona have won 21 and Celta Vigo nine.
