Prediction: 2-2
Barcelona
Estadio de Balaidos will be the centre of attention when Celta Vigo and Barcelona lock horns in the Primera Division round 25. Os Celeste aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Getafe and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Catalan giants. Experienced forward Iago Aspas is pushing for a start as well as Tadeo Allende, who scored as a substitute in the defeat to los Azulones, while both Williot Swedberg and Joseph Aidoo are out of contention with injuries.
Barca, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 3-3 draw with Granada. Xavi’s troops are eager to keep their title hopes alive, but given their anything but good record at “Balaidos”, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Ferran Torres, Joao Felix, Sergi Roberto, Marcos Alonso, and Gavi are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
