Barcelona vs Celta: The home team win in a productive match

Barcelona will face Celta Vigo in round 36 of the Spanish football championship. Both teams are already devoid of tournament motivation, which means that the upcoming match can be described as a training session with an increased level of responsibility. Bookmakers have little doubt that the Catalans will win the game.

Barcelona gave Real Madrid the league title after a 4:0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Catalans won their last two meetings with the same score of 2:1, first at home to Mallorca and then away to Betis. The Blaugranas have secured their place in the Champions League zone, but they have not yet secured second place in the table as both Atlético and Sevilla still have chances ahead of the Barça in the standings. Barcelona's home statistics are fifth in the division, +11=2-4, 34:16 goal difference in 17 meetings played.

In their last five games, Celta has collected seven points. For a mid-table side, this is not a bad result that allows them to sit 11th in the league table, nine points ahead of Mallorca, who are in the relegation zone. There is no danger of relegation for them. The Galician can slip two or three places on the table. Celta's away statistics are eighth in the division, +5=6-6, 16:15 goal difference.

Barcelona lost very unexpectedly to Rayo Vallecano 0:1 at Camp Nou at the end of April. They will do everything in their power not to repeat that. Although the motivation of the Catalans is not at the highest level, we doubt Barcelona want to lose their already comfortable second place. And Celta isn't the strongest of opponents. The head-to-head encounters between Barcelona and Celta regularly end productively. We expect a confident win for the Catalan side.
