Celta Vigo hosts Barcelona in round 13 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, November 6th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo)
Celta Vigo earned one point a week ago. The Celts managed to take points from Rayo Vallecano in the away game (0-0). It was their 7th match in a row, in which at least one of the sides didn’t score. The tournament position of Eduardo Coudet's charges leaves much to be desired. After 12 rounds, they have only 11 points scored. This is enough to be in 15th place. The gap from the relegation zone is quite insignificant — only two points. In the current season, the Sky Blues are experiencing problems with production. In 12 matches, they scored only ten goals. But at the same time, their defense works pretty well (14 goals conceded). Eight rounds ended with Under 2.5 goals scored. In the last six home matches in LaLiga, Celta gained only one victory and suffered five losses.

Barcelona is in a deep crisis. As it turned out, it was not about Ronald Koeman, who was recently fired. In the last round, under the management of Sergi Barjuan, Blaugranes failed to beat Alaves at Camp Nou (1-1). Moreover, the Catalans have not won in three consecutive rounds of LaLiga (two defeats and one draw). As a result, they dropped to 9th place in the standings (16 points scored). Yes, the team has a match in reserve, but even a victory in it will not allow the Catalans to rise above the 7th line. On November 2, Barça played an away match against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League. And the Ukrainians were beaten with great difficulties thanks to a goal from Ansu Fati (0-1).
Let’s face it, Celta Vigo is having a bad season. But it seems to me that now the Sky Blues have every chance to put at least one point in their piggy bank. Firstly, Coudet's men are fresher than the Catalans who played in the Champions League. Secondly, the stands will support the Celts. And thirdly, over the past seven years, the Galicians took points from Barcelona at least in one game of the season. No, I won't risk betting on a clear victory for the hosts. I think the best solution is 1X.
Prediction for the match: Celta Vigo to win with +0.5 handicap
