Celtic - Barcelona

Celtic – Barcelona
The bookies more give a Barcelona as the favorite team to win this fixture although this game will take venue at Celtic Park as Celtic home base. And Celtic has big motivation to make this prediction is wrong. I think Celtic will play offensive to get points good points here, they probably to play with same tactic when their win over Milan 2-1 this season. But the bad news for home team they will be without they good midfielder Scott Brown here because suspended, this will make Donati and Sno being the replacement.
Other side the big team from Spain, Barcelona will try to dominate the ball in the 90 minutes match. But this style always make the Barcelona’s middle sector always lost the ball so far, Deco should play not to hold the ball for a long time here. To fix this problem, Barcelona should play more efficient at Celtic Park, and this will use the speed and skill from Messi, Santos, and Henry. And the log shoot from second line (Xavi and Iniesta) will be great value for Barcelona.
Head to head:
24/11/04 Barcelona 1-1 Celtic
By the way, Boruc as the home team goalkeeper will celebrate his birthday this midweek. And this condition will make him to play highly motivation here (a good value for Celtic I think). And this season Barcelona always feel trouble when clash with the team from Scotland (at the group phase Barcelona has been held by Rangers 0-0 at away).
From this condition, very possible this match will end with no goal score. And I am sure this would be happen again at Celtic Park. No goal score is the best value for me, in this fixture.
