Barcelona vs Celta Vigo: live streaming , predictions and lineups

The La Liga clash between Barcelona and Celta Vigo on April 19, 2025, promises to be an intriguing encounter as both teams vie for crucial points in their respective campaigns. Barcelona currently sits at the top of the league, aiming to extend its lead to seven points after a mixed recent performance that includes a notable Champions League semi-final victory over Borussia Dortmund . However, they must contend with injury concerns affecting key players such as Alejandro Balde and Ronald Araujo. The expected formation for Barcelona is a 4-2-3-1, which may provide the tactical flexibility required against Celta’s high-pressure style .

Barcelona won their last La Liga game. It was on the road where Leganés were beaten 1-0 at Estadio Butarque. The Catalan club recorded two shots on target and boasted 66% possession, with an own goal proving to be the difference in the end.

On Tuesday night, Barcelona lost 3-1 (5-3 win on aggregate) away to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final stage.

Barcelona are leading the table with 70 points and a four-point lead over arch-rivals Real Madrid. Celta have 43 points and are locked in a tight battle to win the seventh place, the final spot for European qualification.

A 3-1 loss away at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday didn’t stop Barcelona from progressing to the semi-finals 5-3 on aggregate. It was their first defeat in 2025 in all competitions (W20, D4, L1).

They would be keen to get back to winning ways, and what better way to do so than at home – Barca won six and drew one of their recent seven league fixtures here.

Celta drew the reverse fixture 2-2 and will hope to keep Barcelona at bay again. That will need them to bounce back from the 2-0 loss at home to Espanyol last weekend. That defeat was their first in nine league matches (W5, D3, L1), so there’s still credit in the bank.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Martin; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha; Lewandowski

Celta Vigo possible starting lineup: Guaita; J Rodriguez, C Dominguez, Alonso, Mingueza; Carreira, F Lopez, Beltran, Moriba, Gonzalez; Duran

Celta Vigo, positioned seventh in La Liga, poses a significant challenge due to their ability to exploit opponents' weaknesses . Recently suffering a defeat against Espanyol, Celta will look to rebound and maintain pressure for European qualification. Their recent form showcases five wins in eight games, highlighting their competitive edge despite setbacks . As fans prepare for this match-up, live streaming options are widely available across various platforms including ESPN Deportes in the USA and LaLigaTV in the UK . This match not only represents a test of skill but also of resilience as both teams aim for crucial outcomes.
