Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Prediction and Betting Tips | October 9, 2022

Barcelona will entertain Celta Vigo at Camp Nou in La Liga on Sunday (October 9). The hosts will return to top spot in the standings with a win.

The Blaugrana have kicked off their league campaign in spectacular fashion, winning six straight games after a goalless draw at home in their campaign opener against Rayo Vallecano.

They eked out a narrow 1-0 away win at Mallorca in their last outing. Barcelona have been unable to replicate their league form in the UEFA Champions League, though, failing to score in two straight losses.

Celta, as expected, find themselves in midtable after seven games. They returned to winning ways after back-to-back defeats, with Garbi Viega's ninth-minute winner helping them beat Real Betis.
