A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Barcelona have less rest than Celta de Vigo in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Champions League game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Camp Nou. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Celta de Vigo have had more rest.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Barcelona has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Camp Nou. We remember; it was Real Betis.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Slavia Praha in the Champions League last time out and are looking for a win here. A La Liga defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Levante.

Celta de Vigo form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their La Liga travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Celta de Vigo who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Athletic Club was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Celta de Vigo's last three away games as they have all been lost.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga home defeat versus Getafe with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Real Betis wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Celta de Vigo's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won 1 of these as expected, 1 of them by at least two goals. Celta de Vigo managed 0 draws and 0 surprise wins.
