THE PREDICTION
There is simply no room for more error for Barcelona in the title race now as Real Madrid hold control over top spot so this is must-win for them. They face a Celta side that has eased their relegation worries by winning their last two matches. While their confidence is as high as it has been for some time, they may potentially ease off the gas a little here and ultimately Barca have to be favoured to get the points even if the hosts will make them fight hard for it.
