Athletic Bilbao vs Celta Vigo Match Preview

Gaizka Garitano's charges have been very impressive at the San Mames since the new tactician took over, having tasted defeat only once in La Liga. However, recent matches in the campaign has seen Athletic Bilbao draw in their last three, and this might be a bit of a concern for the home contingent as they have failed to score in the last two La Liga matches heading into this fixture.

Considering their home advantage, Bilbao will be confident enough to find their attacking and scoring mindset. Defensively, they have been hard to be cracked by opponents, having only conceded four goals at home this season.

Celta Vigo are currently sitting 17th in the table, and their performance on the road has been very dismall this season. They have lost six of their last eight away games and have won just once on the road this season.

They are hovering above the relegation zone and their recent performances has seen them without a win since November last year after overcoming Villareal. Their last meetings with their foes has seen Celta winless in their last four outings at the San Mamés. Their shaky defense has seen the travelling side leak four goals in their last four games away from home.
