"Celta de Vigo are a major club in Spain and an established team in La Liga. Although they do not tend to challenge for the European places in the La Liga table, they do not end up among the sides fighting for survival in the top flight of Spanish football. Los Celestes finished seventh in the La Liga table last season and are playing in the UEFA Europa League this campaign."
"Celta de Vigo are likely to line up in a 3-4-3 formation against Barcelona. Andrei Radu will be in goal for the home team. Javi Rodriguez, Carl Starfelt and Marcos Alonso will be the three defenders. Fran Beltran and Ilaix Moriba will be the two holding midfielders and will have Oscar Mingueza and Sergio Carreira on either flank. Ferran Jutgla, Borja Iglesias and Bryan Zaragoza will be the three forwards."
Barcelona travel to Estadio Abanca Balaídos to face Celta de Vigo in a La Liga fixture kicking off at 8pm UK time on Sunday. Celta de Vigo sit midtable and finished seventh last season, but they have collected just 13 points from 11 league matches this season and are five points off the final European places while four points clear of the relegation zone. Celta play Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday and recently beat Levante and Puerto De Vega. Celta will likely use a 3-4-3 formation. Barcelona won La Liga last season and aim to retain the title and win Europe.
