In this campaign, Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao played their highest-scoring game since 2002, when again both teams scored a total of seven goals. Then the Celts beat Athletic 6:1 away, and in November, the victory went to the Basque team, who managed to beat their rival 4:3. The fourth goal for Bilbao fell in the eighth minute of extra time. Then Alex Berenger scored from the penalty spot, and with the score 3:3 in the 72nd minute, captain Iago Aspas missed to score from the white spot for Celta.
Celta vs Athletic Club Prediction: Athletic Bilbao #2-1
The Celta Vigo team has been performing exceptionally well in their own stadium over the last month and a half. During this period, the Celts have not conceded a single defeat and have won four of their five games played at the Estadio Balaidos. Celta also emerged as winners from their last home game against Athletic Bilbao after beating them by a minimal 1-0 previous campaign. However, this time, I think the Celts are unlikely to win the maximum against the Basque Country, but I expect them to easily find their way to their goal again as they did in November.
