Celta Vigo will trade tackles with Barcelona in a La Liga matchday 12 clash on Sunday (November 9th). The game will be played at Estadio de Balaidos.
The hosts will be looking to build on the 3-0 away victory they registered over Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. All three goals were scored in the first half. Pablo Duran was the star of the show with a brace, scoring on either side of Sergi Dominguez's 28th-minute own goal.
Barcelona, meanwhile, thrice came from behind to snatch a 3-3 draw away to Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League. Lamine Yamal had a hand in the Catalans' three goals. They were 2-1 down at the break, with Nicolo Tresoldi and Carlos Forbs scoring either side of Yamal's eighth-minute strike. The Spain international equalized again just past the hour-mark before forcing Christos Tzolisto to turn into his own net after Forbs had restored Brugge's lead.

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona Prediction
Celta Vigo started the season off poorly, winning just one of their first 11 competitive games. However, they have hit a purple patch since then, winning five games on the bounce.
Barcelona find themselves five points off arch-rivals Real Madrid in their bid to retain their league crown. The Catalans have historically struggled at this ground and have won on just two of their last 10 visits here in La Liga.
We expect the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
