Prediction: 1-1
Barcelona
Estadio de Balaidos will be the centre of attention when Celta Vigo and Barcelona lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Primera Division game. Os Celeste were been having their ups and downs before the international break, with the team losing to Leganes, beating Getafe, while sharing the spoils with Real Betis and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s showdown.
Greece forward Anastasios Douvikas is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while both Sergio Carreira and Jailson remain in the treatment room. Barca, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad on Matchday 13, but it has to be noted that Robert Lewandowski’s opener should not have been disallowed. Lewandowski misses the trip to Galicia with a back injury and given Lamine Yamal’s absence, we predict that the hosts are going to grab something from the match.
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.
