Match Preview: The current title holders will definitely start as the favorites. They are a far stronger side and will also play at their home condition. Thus they will eye all the match points. The Blaugranas will be aiming a dominating performance as well. Conversely, the Sky Blues will definitely play with defensive tactics. They are likely to play for a point. Thus a point will give them immense pleasure. I expect Fran Escriba to go with a “Park the Bus” mode.
It will also be an occasion of revenge for the champions. Last season, they had to taste defeat against Celta. So they will like to take the revenge. Nevertheless, my pick for this game is a comprehensive Barca victory.
