Our Prediction for Barcelona vs Celta
The Catalan giants last season did not put up much of a fight for first place in La Liga, conceding it to Real Madrid. Combined with the fact that the club finished the season without a single trophy, this led to Xavi's resignation. In Vigo, Benítez lasted barely half a year, which only further damaged his reputation and left his new team facing relegation. His successor, the much less known Giráldez, managed to lift the squad to thirteenth place with 41 points.
Claudio is still working with the players, who are not only progressing but, as of mid-spring, are among the contenders for a spot in European competitions. This was helped by a streak, starting in early February, during which they didn’t lose—in fact, most of the matches resulted in victories. Suddenly, though, they lost 0-2 at home to Espanyol. Under Flick, Barcelona are aiming for all available trophies: in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, a 4-0 first-leg win was followed by a nervy second leg that ended 1-3, enough to advance. Domestically, they are fighting Real Madrid. They thrashed Real in the Super Cup and will meet again in the Copa del Rey final for another "El Clasico." In La Liga, there's an indirect race going on in which Barca are currently ahead of Ancelotti's side. They also beat Leganés, though only just, winning 1-0.
Lewandowski and company average 2.71 goals per game, while conceding just under two. Their visitors are more modest in attack, but still have almost a positive difference: 1.42 scored versus 1.45 conceded per match.
