Celta Vigo vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Betting tips
An entertaining encounter in this day of Sunday is the one that will play Celta and Athletic Bilbao by a new date of the Santander League.
Celta Vigo :
In my opinion, the Basque team leaves slightly as a favorite because of the offensive potential it possesses, which can be increased by the immediate future of the Galician (semis of Europa League against Manchester United). For this reason and considering that they have yielded too many points in Balaídos, we advise you to play a few euros to the simple triumph of those directed by Ernesto Valverde.
Take into account that Celta lost 2-1 to Sevilla in the Sánchez Pizjuán, remaining with 44 points in the general table. The team has lost 4 of its last 5 presentations, of which 2 have been consecutive. With no longer fighting for anything, the goal of the team is to reach the farthest in the Europa League.
On the other hand do not forget that the Galician box has added acceptable results in Balaídos, but has lost several matches due to its participation in Europe (defeats 0-1 against Villarreal, 0-2 against Eibar and 0-1 against Betis).
Athletic Bilbao :
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Athletic Bilbao defeated Betis 2-1 at the new San Mamés and added 3 vital points in their fight to qualify directly to the next Europa League. It has improved its soccer level to register 3 victories of consecutive way.
Finally, we tell you that the Basques have left many points on the road as visitors, after winning 5 games, equaling another 2 and losing the remaining 9 that played in this condition (13 goals in favor and 21 assigned on their fence). Of course, the team has improved its level in its last outings, after winning 3 of 4 (0-2 against Real Sociedad in the classic, 1-2 against Osasuna, 0-1 against Eibar).
After reviewing the details of this match I play for a victory of the visiting team because of the following reasons: First because Athletic Bilbao is doing well in the tournament, despite some past stumbling. Besides, he comes with 3 consecutive victories that allow him to play confidently. Second because the Basque team will seek to add to qualify directly to the Europa League, even surpassing Villarreal. And third because Celta is not thinking about this match, as his goal is to beat United for the Europa League. Faced with this reality, we believe that “Lions” can win even if it is a goal difference.
