The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Celta Vigo lock horns with Xavi's impressive Barcelona side in an important clash at the Estadio de Balaidos on Sunday.
Celta Vigo vs Barcelona Preview
Celta Vigo are currently in 17th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Galician outfit slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cadiz last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, have clinched the La Liga title this season and have been impressive on the domestic front over the past year. The Blaugrana eased past Mallorca by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
