Team news
Celta de Vigo
On form Pione Sisto is expected to start with lago Aspas and Pablo Hernandez leading the hunt for goals. Jonny may be rested in this clash.
Barcelona
Arda Turan is expected to replace the injured Lionel Messi thanks to his outstanding performance against Gladbach in the Champions League. Mascherano should start in place of Samuel Umtiti who is still injured, while Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic could take charge of the midfield.
Match forecast
Despite winning their last three games in all competitions and conceding only once in the process, Celta may not be a huge threat to the visitors, at least on paper. The La Liga defending champions have won their last three away games in all competitions and scored 12 goals in the process, something that should give Eduardo Berizzo’s men a reason to be worried. With Barcelona hoping to topple Real Madrid from the top of the league table, chances are high that the former could register a hard-fought win here.
