Barcelona expect a tough trip to Vigo

CAIRO_27 June 2020: Barcelona face Celta Vigo on Saturday at Balaidos stadium in Vigo in La Liga.

The pressure will be on Barcelona manager Quique Setién and his players who aim to get the three points to keep chasing the league leaders, Real Madrid.

Barcelona were atop of the table when LaLiga restarted but a goalless draw in Barcelona gave Real Madrid the chance to have the upper hand in the battle for the title.

Barcelona youngster Riqui Puig is expected to start for Barcelona as the team will miss the veteran midfielder Sergio Busquets for suspension and Frenkie de Jong for injury.

"It could be a good moment for Riqui with the absences of important players like De Jong and Busquets," Setién said during the pre-match press conference.

Puig did well in Barcelona's 1_0 victory over Athletic Bilbao midweek when he entered the pitch at the second half.

The manager added "He also had chances before, but these are things we're looking at on a day to day basis based on training and the games we have."

On the other hand, Celta Vigo aim to keep their unbeaten run at the last three rounds, during which they gained 7 points from a draw against Real Valladolid as well as two wins over Deportivo Alaves and Real Sociedad.
