Barcelona has a much better image, as expected. Their last 6 matches came with 6 victories, 1 draw and 1 loss, scoring 1.33 goals per game. They gathered 8 goals in their last 6 matches, which means they might be a bit out of form.

What is the prediction?
Barcelona is looking to build on their victory over Athletic Club 1-0 and remain in the top position. Ivan Rakitic’s goal has helped the Catalans to keep their title hope alive and chances are that the Croatia international will be recalled to the starting IX. Sergio Roberto, Frankie de Jong and Ousmane Dembele will remain in the recovery room, but Barca will still be the favorite to win this match.
Leo Messi will, as always, be the man to keep an eye on in the away team. Os Celeste was improving a bit lately, after beating Alaves and Real Sociedad in the last two fixtures. The Galician outfit is trying to make their fourth consecutive clean sheet in a row in La Liga. However, preventing the reigning champions to find a net will be impossible for them.
The most likely outcome of the match will be Barcelona’s victory. The chances for a draw are minimal if we look at the history between clubs. Barcelona is in great shape which is a warning sign to the Celta as it is.
