Looking to make it three La Liga wins on the spin, Barcelona will welcome Celta Vigo to the Nou Camp on Tuesday night.
Barcelona
Starting with the hosts, while Barcelona might not have been at their best over the past month, the former Spanish champions have managed to wrap up a Champions League spot with time to spare. Eventually watching left-back Jordi Alba grab a last-gasp winner as they snatched a 2-1 victory away at Real Betis a few days ago, Head Coach Xavi is desperate for his side to end the 2021/22 campaign with a flurry. While the European heavyweights might not have been able to mount any kind of La Liga title charge this season, the midweek hosts have secured back-to-back domestic wins since opening May. However, shockingly crashing out of the Europa League last month at the hands of German outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, it should be highlighted that Barca have remarkably lost three of their last four home fixtures across all formats. Nevertheless, despite only winning one of their last four meetings against Celta Vigo, fans around the Nou Camp should be smelling a chance on Tuesday night.
Team News
Coming off the bench against Real Betis and finding the net last weekend, attacking talisman Ansu Fati could make his first Barcelona start of the season.
However, Tuesday s hosts will be without the likes of Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique, Nico Gonzalez, Sergi Roberto, Pedri and Sergino Dest on Tuesday night.
Celta Vigo
As for the visitors, while Celta Vigo might have opened the 2021/22 campaign with their sights set on securing a European return, Los Celestes almost find themselves sat in La Liga limbo. Now simply hoping to clinch another top-half finish this season, Head Coach Eduardo Coudet has seen his side gain a reputation for their inconsistencies. Although they might have been last seen a few days ago picking up a routine 4-0 romp against rock-bottom Alaves on home soil, the Sky Blues have managed to win just a pair of their last eight top-flight contests. With their recent struggles stemming all the way back to March 6th, Celta have also shown some real issues on the road this season. Including crashing out of the Copa del Rey back in January after a shock 2-1 defeat away at lower-league Baleares, Tuesday s guests have picked up just a pair of victories away from Balaídos since opening 2022.
Team News
Celta Vigo make the trip to the Nou Camp with no fresh injury issues or suspensions to worry about.
Tuesday s guests will once again be missing Hugo Mallo on Tuesday night as he still recovers from a patella fracture.
