Celta, one of the strongest home teams in La Liga, is set to face Barcelona, the league's top-performing away side. On paper, this matchup promises to be thrilling, with both sides expected to find the net.
Celta has been formidable at home, boasting a record of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, with a goal difference of 11:7. One of their losses was a narrow 1-2 defeat against Real Madrid, where they still managed to score. Known for their resilience, they pose a threat to any team in the league.
Iago Aspas has traditionally been a thorn in Barcelona’s side. He even scored in their last meeting, a 1-2 loss at home, highlighting his ability to trouble their defense.
Barcelona, meanwhile, comes into this clash with a depleted squad, missing key players like Lamine Yamal, Marc-André ter Stegen, Ansu Fati, Ronald Araújo, Eric García, and Ferran Torres. Despite these challenges, they remain a formidable opponent.
Interestingly, the last three encounters between these teams have all seen both sides scoring, setting the stage for another exciting battle.
What we say
Both Teams to Score
Considering the current form of both teams, we anticipate a closely contested match, with Celta likely to pose significant challenges to Barcelona's defense.
We expect Barca to struggle with the long list of injuries, and that's why we anticipate both teams to score as the best pick for this match.
