Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Predictions
Celta face the heartbreak of the match-day, because they saw the points slip from their grasp right at the end of the game. They are in a consistent way and face Real Betis. The host has opened an account in the 8th minute itself, but it was equalized at 70, and it looked as though things were heading to a draw.
However, the hosts had other plans, like right at the end of regular time, they contribute to the goal, which turned out to be a winner, to break the hearts of fans traveling.
Defending champions Barcelona meanwhile, continued their open wounds, such as those dreadful run continued with a goalless draw against Slavia Prague, in the Champions League.
They simply have no option but to record the emphatic comeback, silencing the haters, and hesitation. Given the active Vigo four straight defeats, plus the return of their only two wins out of fifteen attempts, the upper hand goes to Barca. Coupled with this, taking into account the shape of Celta on the road. They have managed a single win from their previous 18 road trip, and embarrassing sole victory came in a friendly match.
With the support of the Camp Nou, Lionel Messi desperate and co should give a dominant victory on Saturday.
However, taking into account the off-form Barca have been in for some time, and the pressure they are under now, it's doubtful that they will keep their net clean. Add a defensive appearance today, which has been pathetic at best, a very large scope BTTS game this week.
