Key players
Analysis:
The Catalan giants have registered 2 draws on the trot and that has derailed their title-winning chances. They are coming on the back of a 3-3 draw against Levante. Lionel Messi, Pedri and Ousmane Dembele had netted goals for Ronald Koeman’s men in that fixture. We can expect a dominant performance from Barcelona in this match.
Celta Vigo have been in impressive form off-late and have notched up 3 wins in 3 games. They defeated Getafe in their previous match and the score line read 1-0. Nolito scored the goal for them. Eduardo Coulet should be a happy manager because of these sensational performances from Celta Vigo.
