Barcelona are coming from two straight draws in La Liga, which have left the team with a huge dent in its title chase. They will be hosting in form Celta Vigo in their next match, hoping to recover from their recent slump. Ahead of this game, third placed Barcelona are on 76 points four behind league leaders Atletico Madrid while Celta Vigo are eighth with 50 points, six below the Europa League slot. Barcelona have already bagged the Copa Del Rey but failure to win the league title will still be considered an underachievement; they thus can’t afford to drop points here. A main area of concern for the Catalans will be in defense, having failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches in the league, which has also resulted in the team winning just two of their last five league matches. They’ve conceded two or more goals in three of their last four league matches and go here winless in their last two league matches at home. In Barcelona’s last game, they let a 2-0 lead slip, and in the end drew 3-3 with Levante. This is their last home match of the season and they will surely be hoping to finish well at Camp Nou.

Celta Vigo have done well in the run up to this game and still have Europa League ambitions, which are getting slimmer with every match day and going here they can’t afford a loss. They have four straight wins in the league and two clean sheets in the process. In the last four league matches, Celta Vigo have scored two or more goals in three and after their 1-0 win over Getafe in the last game, they will be keen to bring down a big gun. In their last away game they registered a shock 4-2 win over Villarreal and going to Camp Nou, they have three wins in five away league matches but have kept just one clean sheet in the process.
