Celta Vigo are set to host Barcelona at the Estadio de Balaidos in their domestic league on Saturday, November 6. It has been a tough few months for the Catalans giants, as they have only won one of their last five games in the league, but suffered three defeats in the process, including a 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano in their last away domestic fixture, which led to Ronald Koeman’s exit. However, Barca did manage to pick up vital three points in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night against Dynamo Kiev, and the result moved the La Liga side into the second spot in Group E standings. They will look for a similar result in this fixture.
Celta Vigo, too have endured a tough start to the campaign in the Spanish league. The Galicians have won three, drawn two and lost seven of their opening 12 matches to collect 11 points so far. Their terrible run has left them in 15th position in the points table ahead of the next set of matches. However, they held Rayo Vallecano in a goalless stalemate in their previous game and will look to improve their performance in this fixture.
The match between Celta Vigo and Barcelona will kick off at 08:45 pm (IST) on Saturday.
