Barcelona – Celta Vigo : Preview & Prediction
Barcelona’s 2-1 win over Betis Sevilla in Andalusia, thanks to Jordi Alba’s late injury-time goal, has qualified them for the group stage of the Champions League. The narrow win at Betis came after a narrow 2-1 victory over Mallorca at the Camp Nou a few days earlier. Xavi’s side will now look to make it three against Celta Vigo to consolidate their second place. Celta Vigo, 11th in La Liga, secured their place in Spain’s top flight with a 4-0 win over Alaves at the weekend. The Galician club are 11 points clear of the relegation zone with three games to go and will not be joined by Mallorca. Coudet’s side, who have lost five and drawn three of their last nine away games, will find it hard to resist the Catalan club, who will want to finish the season in second place. Celta will be counting on the reception of Elche and the trip to Valencia to take points that could allow them to finish this season in the top half of the table.
