Match Preview:
After the 3-1 El Clasico defeat, Barcelona players are itching to get out on the field and give their fans something to cheer about. A week after the game, the players are looking to bag another victory in La Liga to prove to their fans that they are still in the game and it’s the match against Celta Vigo that will start earning them some redemption.
On the other hand the Celta Vigo team seems to be preparing for this important match against one of the best teams in all of Spain. Suarez is set to make a competitive home debut and who knows, his career at Barcelona might kick start with a few goals in this game. It’s safe to say Barcelona is looking for a victory tonight and they are going to get it.
However, this is no reason to take Celta lightly, they have been unbeaten for four La Liga games and they showed a really tough time to Levante just last weekend. Their players are rearing to go and see how they play against the Catalans, who conceded their first goals in the league against Real Madrid. Will Bravo be able to redeem himself and maintain a clean sheet for this match as well? Only time will tell.
My Prediction: Barcelona 3 – 0 Celta Vigo
