BARCELONA, Spain (Interstat) — First-place Barcelona looks to maintain its grip on the La Liga standings when it visits a struggling Celta Vigo side at the Estadio de Balaídos on Sunday.

Barcelona (8-2-1) sits atop the Spanish league despite a recent 3-3 draw with Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday. That result followed a dominant 3-1 league win over Elche, but also a damaging 2-1 loss to rival Real Madrid on Oct. 26. The Catalan club has been formidable in domestic play, with its only other league loss coming against Sevilla on Oct. 5.

In contrast, Celta Vigo (2-2-7) has found wins hard to come by, with a league-high seven draws. The team is coming off a rare victory, a 2-1 result at Levante on Nov. 2, which snapped a five-match La Liga draw streak. Prior to that, Celta’s last win was a 3-2 triumph over Osasuna on Oct. 26.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 2-1 victory for Barcelona. The matchup presents a classic clash between a high-powered offense and a resilient, if offensively challenged, home side.

Following this contest, Barcelona faces a congested schedule with key matches against Chelsea in the Champions League and a La Liga showdown with Atletico Madrid. Celta Vigo’s next fixture is a home match against Espanyol on Nov. 30.
