Celta Vigo v Barcelona

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona Preview

The Spanish top flight action also concludes this Sunday and features this upcoming clash between fourth from bottom outfit Celta Vigo and the new La Liga title winners Barcelona at the Abanca-Balaídos with the hosts in dangerous territory sitting just one point above the relegation zone while Barcelona are basking in glory having secured yet another league title.

Following just one win from their last 11 matches overall in the Spanish top flight, which came in the form of a 1-0 home win against the bottom of the league outfit, Elche, Celta Vigo are now facing a last minute fight against relegation down to La Liga 2 as their predicament hasn't been helped by the fact that Celta Vigo have lost seven of these previous 11 games.

The one team therefore that a club in Celta Vigo's position would be keen to avoid would be Barcelona, fresh from claiming another league title, but this is the task that faces the hosts on Sunday night and along with conceding in each of their last six matches as well as enduring a six-match winless streak (the longest in La Liga at the moment), Celta Vigo look to have their work cut out here.

By contrast, Barcelona have scored in each of their last eight matches in the domestic top flight and although the visitors slipped to a couple of defeats recently against Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid, that hasn't stopped them from winning another La Lia title.

Barcelona also returned to winning ways last time out with a comprehensive 3-0 home win over Mallorca thus effectively ending their opponents' slim hopes of a possible top seven finish, so Xavi's team will be in confident mood as they look to sign off this successful La Liga campaign with another win.

Uncharacteristically, Barcelona have been dealt three defeats in their last seven away games in La Liga, losing at Almeria, Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid but there's plenty of depth in quality amongst the Barca camp and the visitors are expected to produce this difference in class on Sunday.

Celta Vigo v Barcelona Verdict

Celta Vigo know they must do their part of the bargain in securing all three points here on Sunday and hope Real Valladolid either draw or lose, but this is no easy task against the quality of Barcelona, while the visitors have won the last two meetings on the trot against Celta Vigo as well - this could be a long and tense evening for the hosts.

Therefore, our main bet will be Barcelona win @ 2.37

Other side bets worth considering:
