Match preview

Relegation-threatened Celta Vigo will welcome Barcelona to Municipal de Balaidos in Saturday's Matchday 32 encounter. Both clubs will aim to secure all three points for respective reasons with Los Blaugrana hoping to increase the pressure on league-leaders Real Madrid. The two rivals are currently tied on 68 points with seven matches left to play in the campaign.

Nevertheless, for Celta, the objective to survive the drop might just invoke more desire to cause an upset with the other lowly-ranked sides gunning to turn the tide in their favor. Oscar Garcia's men currently rank 16th with the 33 points haul putting them seven points above the relegation zone. The restoration of the season has brought good fortune for the team from Vigo considering that they have been defeated just once in four appearances so far.

Following the 1-0 home defeat to Villarreal in their first game of the league's return, they have gone ahead to secure successive wins over Deportivo Alaves (6-0) and Real Sociedad (1-0) after a 0-0 draw with Real Valladolid. In a broader perspective, Celta Vigo have been defeated just twice in their last 10 outings, winning four and drawing the remaining four games.

Needless to say, with Barcelona thumping them 4-1 in the reverse fixture back in November, a lot more will be expected from the team in Saturday's showdown. For the Catalans, one bad result which followed the restart of the campaign halted by the coronavirus has seen them lose their grip on the title.

Despite winning three of the four games played during the period, the 0-0 draw with Sevilla resulted in Quique Setien's men being demoted to second place by Real Madrid. In the mid-week's clash with Athletic Club, the Camp Nou outfit would have experienced a similar fate but for substitute Ivan Rakitic's vital 71st-minute strike.

The struggles experienced in attack has endured for the past three games as Lionel Messi and his teammates have scored an average of one goal across those games. Relatively, they have proved to be quite exceptional in terms of defensive prowess, conceding no goal in their last five outings.
