Celta Vigo are going through a tough season and it is bound to get even tougher as they get to host Barcelona in their next game in the league. The two teams are five points apart ahead of this game. Barcelona have 16 points in ninth place and Celta Vigo are 15th with 11 points. Hosts Celta Vigo do not have a very strong scoring run ahead of this game. In their last game, they drew 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano and have now failed to score in four of their last five matches. Meanwhile, they have just two clean sheets in their last five matches. Their only win in the last five matches was against Getafe, the side at the foot of the standings and in the last 12 league matches, Celta Vigo have managed just three wins. In the last seven league matches at home, Celta Vigo have lost six and in four of seven home league matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals.

Barcelona go to this game straight from a 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League. This was their second win in five matches and both wins have been in the Champions League. That was also their first away win in the six matches on the road they’ve had this season. They have had to deal with a lot of injuries this season and theirs has been an inconsistent campaign so far. It is expected that Xavi Hernandez will be taking over as the manager but while that is worked on, they’ll be seeking a second straight away win. They have failed to score in four of their last five away matches while Barcelona have no win in their last three league matches. In four away matches in La Liga, Barcelona have scored one goal, and lost three.
