Celta - Barcelona

Match Date: 23/11-21:00

R.C. Celta de Vigo

The Celta will host the league leaders, Barcelona, managed by Hansi Flick, who is surprising everyone with the quick adaptation of the German to the Blaugrana squad, which is showing an exceptional level under his command. The Sky Blues rely on the strength of the team at home since the arrival of Claudio, and on the positive balance at Balaídos against Barcelona, where they have only lost in 3 of the last 10 visits by the Culés.

Expect a thrilling and open match between two teams that take many risks and aim to dominate the game and create chances against each other. Although in this scenario, we anticipate a slightly more cautious Celta that won't shy away from attacking the spaces left by the visiting defense when the opportunity arises.

Regarding the starting lineup, as in every match, there are many uncertainties in Claudio's team. It is likely that to strengthen the defensive solidity, he will opt for Manquillo in the back 3. The performance of Ristic remains unconvincing, so we predict the return to the starting XI of Hugo Álvarez. Up front, due to the height of the opposition's defensive line, Swedberg appears to be crucial for this match. We also cannot rule out Douvikas, as the Greek player performs well in this kind of scenario.

FC Barcelona

The League returns, bringing back the leader, who visits a challenging ground like Balaídos.

The international break did not result in any injuries this time, but it also did not help in recovering players, and Araujo, Christensen, Marc Bernal, Ansu Fati, Ter Stegen, Éric García, Ferran Torres, and Lamine Yamal will remain sidelined.

Regarding the starting XI, it should be the first-choice lineup with the only doubt being the replacement for Lamine Yamal. Based on last week's performance, Flick could opt to stick with Fermín, but the doubts left from the team's display in Anoeta might lead the German to choose Pau Víctor or advance Olmo and include another pure midfielder like De Jong.
