Celta Vigo v Barcelona
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 23rd November at 20:00
🏆
Competition: La Liga
Barcelona will be looking to extend their three-point lead at the top of La Liga on Sunday evening. They face off against a Sevilla side currently languishing in 12th, with 12 points. Meanwhile, the hosts have doubled that tally, with 24 points from their opening nine games.
⭐ Celta Vigo v Barcelona Best Bets
Iago Aspas has drawn two or more fouls in eight out of ten games this season, averaging 2.12 fouls drawn per 90.
Last season, he drew five fouls against Barcelona in this fixture at the Balaidos Stadium, proving a handful to deal with.
This bet also landed in the reverse fixture last season, as he drew two fouls on the road.
👕 Celta Vigo v Barcelona Predicted XI
🔍 Celta Vigo v Barcelona Players to Watch
🟤 Dani Olmo
Dani Olmo is averaging the most shots per 90 for Barcelona this season, with 4.26, and has scored five league goals. Olmo has scored in all three starts since completing his move from RB Leipzig, and should be in contention to start on Saturday with Lamine Yamal out.
🔵 Carl Starfelt
Starfelt has made at least one foul in each of his last seven starts for Celta Vigo, and now draws an ideal matchup against Robert Lewandowski to extend that streak. Last time Barcelona travelled to the Balaidos Stadium, Starfelt made exactly one foul, this price looks like fantastic value.
🟤 Inigo Martinez
Inigo Martinez is averaging 1.14 fouls drawn per 90 in all competitions this season when playing away, landing this selection in seven out of nine games. He is typically the aggressor in his centre back pairing with Pau Cubarsi, meaning he contests several aerial duels per game, ideal for drawing soft fouls.

💻 Celta Vigo v Barcelona Form and Tactics
After a flying start to the campaign which saw Celta Vigo pick up back-to-back wins, they managed just two wins in the next nine games. Prior to the international break, however, the Sky Blues were unbeaten in three games in all competitions. Oscar Mingueza earned a call-up to the national side, and played the full 90 against Switzerland, contributing to a 3-2 victory.
Barcelona dropped points for just the second time in the league so far, as Real Sociedad handed them a 1-0 defeat just prior to the international break. It was a deserved result too, as the hosts accrued 2.02 xG, compared to just 0.64 xG from Barcelona – that was the first time all season the Catalans had created less than 1.0 xG. Lamine Yamal missed out against La Real due to an ankle injury, and seems set to miss out again. The winger was also absent when Osasuna beat Barcelona earlier in the season.
