Ahead of Saturday’s La Liga clash between Celta Vigo and Barcelona, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Celta Vigo and Barcelona ahead of their clash on Saturday.
Barcelona will be aiming to return to winning ways when they head to Celta Vigo in La Liga on Saturday night.
Hansi Flick‘s side entered the November international break off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad, with the loss ending a run of seven straight victories in all competitions for the Catalan giants.
Barcelona remain top of the La Liga table, though, six points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, and they will be heading to a Celta side that are currently 11th in the division, while the hosts are unbeaten in their last three matches.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest at the Estadio Municipal de Balaidos.

Previous meetings: 132
Celta Vigo wins: 28
