Preview
Barcelona is gearing up for an exciting clash against Celta Vigo in La Liga, with both teams having had varying starts to the season. The match is set to take place on Saturday evening (4:30 GMT) as part of La Liga’s ongoing campaign.
Barcelona, under the management of Xavi Hernandez, has enjoyed an impressive start to the season, securing 13 points from their first five games.

Notable arrivals on deadline day, including Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, have bolstered Barcelona’s squad and added depth to the team. Their presence has certainly strengthened the squad for the challenges that lie ahead. Barcelona will be without Pedri due to a thigh injury, but Ronald Araujo is back in the squad after recovering from a hamstring issue.

On the other hand, Celta Vigo has had a less impressive start to the season, collecting only four points from their opening five matches. They currently sit in the 16th position on the league table. Celta struggled initially, securing just one point from their first three games and suffering losses to Osasuna and Real Madrid. However, they managed to secure a victory against Almeria before the international break. Celta Vigo’s main forward, Iago Aspas, is yet to find the back of the net in the current season.
