What has been Barcelona and Celta's form ahead of this match?
Barcelona seems to have found their true form when they needed it the most. Los Blaugranas have won four out of their last six, with one draw and one loss during that timeframe. Their last home game concluded with an emphatic 2-0 win against Villarreal almost a month ago, since they played back-to-back away games before this weekend's clash.
Celta has improved in recent weeks under Miguel Cardoso. The team from Galicia has won two and drawn their most recent game, but winning games was something they hadn't experienced that much under former coach Antonio Mohamed, who lost his job after being thrashed at home by Real Madrid.
What is the current position of Barcelona and Celta in La Liga?
Barcelona tops the Spanish league's charts with 34 points. Los culés have held on to the top thanks to their goalscoring prowess, as they have found the back of the net 46 times. Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez are the only attacking duo in La Liga with double figures in the goalscoring department, having scored fourteen and eleven goals, respectively.
Celta enters this game ranked 11th in the Spanish top flight. After firing coach Antonio Mohamed, Miguel Cardoso's men have climbed back up in La Liga's charts, fueled by crucial results such as their 3-2 away win against Villarreal.
