Celta Vigo vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Expected to play at the bottom of the table, Celta Vigo annoys a good number of teams in the first half of the table and occupied the top 11 at the start of this day, and to its great merit. The residents of Balaidos will host the great Barça having been undefeated for two days including a narrow victory against Getafe in this same stadium 1-0. Before the break, the Celticos went to scrape 1 point on the lawn of Real Bétis 2-2 . We could even say that it was the Sevillians who took the point of the draw by equalizing in added time of the match. Note, however, that recently, facing championship leaders, Vigo lost its serenity with two defeats against Madrid's Atlético 0-1 and Real 1-2 at home. Meanwhile, Iago Aspas' partners shared the points with Girona, at home once again 1-1.

 Just before the break, traveling to the Basque Country in torrential rain, Barça conceded their second defeat of the season in the league against Real Sociedad 1-0. With 33 points in 13 matches played, but above all a ratio of 40 goals scored for 12 conceded, Barcelona easily retains its place as boss in the elite with 6 lengths ahead of Real Madrid, who have a day less late match in Valencia. However, this type of misstep should not be made too often for Flick's men who lost their only away match, at Osasuna, in the Basque Country 4-2. This setback at Anoeta put an end to a fine series of seven victories in a row in all competitions, including prestigious successes against Bayern in the Champions League 4-1 , and in the Clasico against Real Madrid 0-4 .

Injured in an adductor, the Brazilian Jailson will be forced to withdraw. Ditto for the important midfielder Luca de la Torre and for Carreira (ankle problem). The rest of the pro group will be at the front for this clash with at the head of the gondola, the legend Iago Aspas (4 goals, 3 assists at 37 years old), the former Lille player Jonathan Bamba without forgetting to mention the scorer on loan from Bétis, Borja Iglesias (4 goals in La Liga this season). Former Barcelona players Mingueza (called up with La Roja during the break) and Marcos Alonso will also be there. The news is reassuring for Ronald Araujo who is getting closer to a return to competition but a priori not for this evening. Victims of a ruptured cruciate ligament, Ter Stegen and Bernal will be OUT until the end of the season while Ansu Fati has relapsed.

Christensen, injured for a long time, will not be traveling, nor will Eric Garcia, Hector Fort, Ferran Torres, and probably Lamine Yamal (injury before the clash against the RSO). Note that during the international gathering, Pedri suffered a nasty tackle and is not sure to play this evening (to be continued). Polish striker Robert Lewandowski (14 goals in La Liga, 1st in the ranking) could also stay with the medical staff so as not to rush his return (injury). The tough guys Gavi, Firmin, Casado and even Olmo, Raphinha, and Frenkie de Jong will be ready to defend the Culers badge at Balaidos this evening.
