Celta Vigo vs Barcelona Predictions

• Barcelona have the best attacking record in La Liga with 40 goals scored so far
• Only one team in La Liga has conceded more goals than Celta Vigo (22) this season
• Robert Lewandowski leads the league’s scoring charts with 14 goals

Flick’s Barcelona aiming to maintain top spot

Barcelona travel to Estadio Municipal de Balaidos on Saturday looking to extend their lead at the top of La Liga when they face 11th-placed Celta Vigo.

Hansi Flick has made an impressive start to his tenure at Camp Nou, guiding the Blaugrana to 11 wins and just two defeats in their opening 13 league matches.

This run of form has propelled Barcelona to the summit of La Liga, six points clear of second-placed Real Madrid.

Celta bracing for tough challenge

Celta Vigo enter this fixture sitting comfortably in mid-table, having accumulated 17 points from their 13 games. However, their defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding 22 goals – the joint-second worst record in the division.

The hosts have shown some attacking prowess, ranking fourth in goals scored with 20, but face a daunting task against the league’s most potent attack. Barcelona, boasting La Liga’s most prolific attack, should be backed to secure a comfortable win.

A 3-1 correct score prediction seems plausible, given Celta’s ability to find the net at home coupled with their defensive struggles. Robert Lewandowski, leading the Pichichi race with 14 goals, is the prime candidate for anytime goalscorer bets. The Polish striker has been in scintillating form and will be eager to add to his tally against Celta’s vulnerable backline.
