Barça commence their final push for the league title against an out-of-form Celta Vigo side, who have conceded a number of goals in recent matches. However, Claudio Giráldez's men will undoubtedly make things difficult for the hosts. The match will be played on the eve of Sant Jordi, one of the most important dates in the Catalan calendar. Can Barcelona give their native fans another reason to celebrate? 

Predictions for Barcelona v Celta Vigo

3-6 Goals Range: 4/9 (bet365)

Barcelona to win and Joan García to make 2+ Saves: 4/6 (bet365)

Barcelona to score in both halves: 4/7 (bet365)

Odds, current at the time of publication, may vary.

Between three and six goals

Barcelona have won every league fixture at home this season, with 12 of those 16 games producing between three and six goals. The same goals range has also materialised in each of Celta's last four matches across all competitions and in five of their most recent seven away league outings. 

Furthermore, 11 of the last 13 La Liga meetings between these two teams have witnessed between three and six goals. As both Barça and Celta Vigo are amongst the league's top seven highest-scoring teams, don't be surprised if we see a deluge of goalmouth activity in this keenly anticipated contest. 

Prediction: 3-6 Goals Range: 4/9 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet will land if three, four, five, or six goals are scored during the match, regardless of the final result. 

Joan García to play a key role 

Hansi Flick's side have been extremely dominant on home soil this season and are therefore red-hot favourites to secure victory on Wednesday night. However, given Barça's current defensive vulnerabilities and the quality of the visitors' forward line, Joan García will be preparing for another busy night between the sticks. 

The 24-year-old Spanish international stopper has made two or more saves in 12 of the last 14 matches in which he's faced at least two shots on target.

Prediction: Barcelona to win and Joan García to make 2+ Saves: 4/6 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet will land if Barcelona win the match and Joan García registers two or more saves. 

Barça to score in both halves

Barcelona are currently the league's top scorers by some distance, and have also netted more frequently on home soil than any other team in the competition. The Catalans have scored in both halves in five of their last seven league matches, while the same could be said of seven of their most recent nine home outings across all competitions. 

Wednesday's hosts have also scored before and after the half-time break in each of their last four La Liga meetings with Celta Vigo.

Prediction: Barcelona to score in both halves: 4/7 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet will land if Barcelona score at least one goal both before and after the interval.
