Athletic Bilbao will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend, as they look to enhance their chances of a European finish in La Liga. Celta Vigo will be the visitors, as they chase an important success, which could maintain their top-flight status.
La Liga Preview
It looks set to be an important end to the season for Bilbao, as they look to hit some form to finish in a European spot. It has been a disappointing campaign for the hosts this term, as they look set to miss out on a place in the Europa League. However, a place in the Europa Conference League could be there for the taking. But, they will need to rediscover their form, as they have gone four without a victory in La Liga.
Their recent form would be a huge concern coming into this fixture, as they have lost three of their last four matches. They have picked up just a single point over that period, and they have lost each of their previous two. It was the manner of their defeat last weekend that would also be concerning, as they conceded five on the road against Villarreal.
Celta Vigo still have an important battle on their hands at this late stage of the season, as they are still chasing a crucial victory in their battle to remain in the top-flight. They come into this fixture sitting five points above the drop zone, and one more victory will likely be enough to secure their status as a La Liga side next term.
Celta has lost each of their last three matches in the top-flight, and they have picked up just three points from their last five matches. Last weekend, they were dramatically beaten 2-1 at home by Valencia.
Athletic Bilbao vs Celta Vigo Head to Head
Celta has won each of their previous two matches against Bilbao, with the most recent of those coming in the form of a 1-0 win in January. It hasn’t been a good fixture for Bilbao in recent seasons, as they have landed just one victory in seven against Celta.
Athletic Bilbao vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Bilbao’s poor record in this fixture is a pretty big concern coming into the weekend. However, Celta’s form doesn’t bode well for their chances of victory. Therefore, a chance will be taken on the draw this weekend.
