Betting tips: Celta Vigo x Barcelona
Check out our predictions of the day for Celta Vigo vs. Barcelona
Prediction 1: Celta Vigo x Barcelona / Barcelona to win
Celta has the third-worst record in front of their home supporters, whereas Barcelona has not lost a single league match when travelling. We expect Xavi’s team to win this time, even though Celta beat Barcelona 2-1 in the exact game last season.
Prediction 2: Celta Vigo x Barcelona / Over 2.5 goals
Recent matches between these two teams have been exciting, goal-filled games. Three goals or more were scored in the past nine meetings between the two teams. The same thing has happened in their recent clashes. Celta Vigo and Barcelona are both coming off nail-biters, with Celta Vigo scoring five goals and Barcelona six. We are betting on more than 2.5 goals in this match between Celta Vigo and Barcelona.
Prediction 3: Celta Vigo x Barcelona / Iago Aspas to score anytime
In 18 career league games versus Barcelona, Celta forward Iago Aspas scored ten goals, causing the most damage. Nevertheless, with only three goals this season, the 36-year-old Aspas is no longer a sure starter for Benítez. But we believe he can come in to cause another rupture in the weak Barcelona backline once again.
