Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Betting Tips

The Barcelona offense should cruise against Celta Vigo and extend their lead atop the La Liga table. Celta Vigo currently have a -4 goal differential and have struggled on the road this season. They conceded four goals against Atletico Madrid and three goals against Valencia on the road this year.

The Catalans have been very stout on the defensive side of the ball under Xavi and have only conceded one goal in La Liga play.

They will once again be without Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé because of an injury, but veteran Gerard Piqué has returned to manning the center of the back line.

Six straight matches between the two sides have eclipsed the 2.5 goal total, and Barcelona have won three of those matches, including a 3-1 win in their latest matchup.

Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Barcelona 3-0 Celta Vigo

This should be a routine victory for the home side with their offense finding their stride again. They only managed one goal on the road against Mallorca last weekend, but the Celta Vigo defense is not a threat.

Back Barca to roll at home.

WAGER: 1 Unit

The Blaugrana will dominate possession in this game and limit Celta Vigo’s goal-scoring opportunities. Ter Stegen will not be forced to make a lot of saves in this game, as the Barcelona defense will secure another clean sheet victory.

Barcelona Team Total Goals Over 2.5 (+105) at BetMGM Sportsbook

WAGER: 1 Unit

The Over 2.5 game total is juiced to (-200), and if Barcelona is going to keep a clean sheet, then their offense will have to score three goals themselves. This is a slight discrepancy in the odds and one worth taking advantage of.
