Barcelona<\/a>, sitting atop the league with an imperious record, welcome Celta Vigo<\/a> to the Camp Nou in a Wednesday evening clash that pits the season’s most prolific attack against one of La Liga<\/a>\u2019s more resilient but less consistent sides. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With kick-off set for 20:30 on 22 April, all eyes will be on whether Celta\u2019s efficient finishing can trouble a Barcelona side that dominates almost every key metric and has lost only once at home this term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Barcelona\u2019s overwhelming attacking numbers, their home dominance, and Celta\u2019s tendency to concede, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We\u2019re particularly confident in a Barcelona win, given their goal difference and efficiency at both ends of the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nCelta have found the net in all of their last 3 trips to Barcelona and rank above average in shot accuracy. Barcelona\u2019s only minor concern is a slightly higher rate of big chances missed, suggesting Celta could capitalise if given space.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
