Ath Bilbao vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting tips
Bilbao is aiming for the fourth home win in a row in the match against Celta Vigo. The Basques themselves beat the reigning Europa League winner from Seville, who at the time was in good shape in the top third of the table. The home side would be the same if they were as stable away as they were on their own territory.
The guests are just as weak in their guest appearances: none of the six away games have already been won. Getafe and Huesca alone are still waiting for the first three in a foreign country. For the match in San Mames between Athletic Bilbao and Celta Vigo, the forecast includes that the dry spell for the Celticos will continue and the hosts win.
Athletic Bilbao:
As described, the red-whites will be happy that a home game is on the agenda again. Although spectators are still not allowed, the team of coach Gaizka Garitano is much stronger at home. Only the opening home game against the newly promoted Cadiz was lost.
The eleventh of the previous year can mainly rely on his defense: She collected two clean sheets in the four home games and was only overcome twice. Only the inevitable defensive artists of Atletico Madrid undercut this number.
In view of this, in the match between Athletic Bilbao and Celta Vigo, the odds for a home win of the 23-time cup winner, including a clean sheet, are given sufficient value on top of that.
The ATH offensive is also clearly more aggressive on its own territory: Two thirds of the twelve goals so far were scored in San Mames at home, although the Lions played six of the ten season games away.
Celta Vigo:
The Celticos are now real survivors in La Liga. In the past two seasons, the last non-relegation place was always taken for the final account. This season, a nerve-wracking relegation battle for the fans of the sky blue has long been on the horizon.
The first relegation place is currently occupied and only the second victory in the eleventh league game succeeded on the previous day. Granada was defeated 3-1. A success that needs to be put into perspective. The opponent’s match in the Europa League just three days earlier was clearly noticeable, which is why Vigo had a physical advantage.
In addition, midfielder Okay Yokuslu was sent off in stoppage time, which means the Turk is now missing. The fact that the winner of the UEFA Intertoto Cup was still represented in the top Spanish league 20 years ago is primarily thanks to the tireless attacker Iago Aspas.
The now 33-year-old has always been the most successful scorer for the team from Galicia for five seasons. In the current season, Aspas is likely to take up this role again. With five goals, the striker has scored almost half of all Vigo goals again!
Only Moreno from Villarreal and Oyarzabal from Real Sociedad top this impressive result in a league-wide comparison. However, even the many goals by Aspas currently do not help against the weak defense of his team: the back of the team from coach Eduardo Coudet conceded an average of two goals per game. Only the shooting gallery called Betis Sevilla tops this value.
