  • FC Barcelona have the fewest scored goals (1) away in La Liga

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Champions League. That game was also an away game, at Dynamo Kyiv. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

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.

Celta de Vigo form and stats

Celta de Vigo's results here at Abanca-Balaídos in the La Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 0 draws and 5 defeats. Celta are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Abanca-Balaídos, having lost their two previous games here.

Celta de Vigo are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 197 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by S. Mina).

Celta drew their last game, 0-0 away at Rayo Vallecano (placed 6th). Goalkeeper Matías Dituro got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.45 out of ten. Dituro stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Real Sociedad (0-2).

FC Barcelona form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their La Liga travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. With two straight losses from their last two away games, FC Barcelona are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It's the second away game in a row for FC Barcelona, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League last time out. Eric García, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.83. García hit one key pass and won 4 of 7 duels.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Deportivo Alaves in the La Liga.

FC Barcelona are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. As opposed to that, Barcelona have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
