Match preview: Barcelona vs Celta Vigo
Barcelona and Celta Vigo will clash at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in this 32nd round of La Liga. In their last encounter on 23 November 2024, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Recent meetings favour the home side, with Barcelona securing 4 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 8 fixtures against Celta Vigo. The home advantage will be crucial as Barcelona tends to perform significantly better at home than when they play away.
Team analysis: Barcelona
Currently sitting in 1st place with 70 points from 22 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, Barcelona is coming off a recent win against Leganés (0-1). Interestingly, they have been more effective on the road than at home, having recorded 12 wins, 2 draws, and a solitary loss in their last 30 away matches, compared to 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses at their home ground. Despite a setback against Borussia Dortmund (3-1) in the Champions League, Barcelona’s attack has been consistently potent, managing to score at least once in their last 10 league matches. At home in this competition, there is a strong trend for goals, with 10 out of 15 matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Barcelona typically takes the lead in matches—evidenced by their ability to score first in 24 of the last 31 La Liga games, and they maintained the lead in 19 of these instances. In their last 15 home matches, they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals during the critical minutes between 46′ and 60′.
Barcelona will enter this clash looking to bounce back after the recent loss. They generally employ a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on quick transitions to attack. Key players include Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha in attack, while Pedri orchestrates play from midfield. The squad will be missing Alejandro Balde, Marc Casadó, Marc-André ter Stegen, and Marc Bernal due to injury.
Team analysis: Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo currently sits 7th in the league, with 43 points from 12 wins, 7 draws, and 12 losses. Their recent match ended in a 0-2 defeat to Espanyol, although prior to that, they registered a win against Mallorca (1-2). This team’s performances are not greatly affected by home advantage, as they have produced comparable results at home and away. In their last 30 games, they recorded 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, scoring 29 goals while conceding 23. At home, they achieved 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, with 23 goals scored and 16 conceded. Over their last 10 away matches, Celta Vigo secured 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, accumulating 10 points from a possible 30. Defensive vulnerabilities have been apparent, conceding in 8 of their last 10 outings, but they have maintained an attacking threat, scoring in 9 of those 10 matches. There is also a noticeable trend for goals when they play away, with over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 15 fixtures. This season, they have conceded first in 20 of 31 matches and only managed to turn the score around successfully on 5 occasions.
Celta Vigo arrives at this match following a defeat against Espanyol. Their tactics typically fall under a 5-2-3 formation, emphasising rapid counter-attacks and overlapping runs into the box. Key players include Alfon González, Iago Aspas, and Pablo Durán in attack, while Fran Beltrán plays a crucial role in the midfield. Fortunately, they have all players available for this clash.
