Celta Vigo hopes to continue their excellent start to the Spanish Primera season when champion Barcelona comes to down for a matchup on Wednesday.

Celta went on the road and beat Sevilla at the weekend, adding fuel for a possible race to a European spot. Last season Eduardo Berizzos men finished eighth, one spot off a Europa League spot.

Celta also handed Barcelona one of their four La Liga losses last season, earning a 1-0 win at the Nou Camp in November. Barcelona returned the favor with a 1-0 win in Vigo later in the season.
