Celta Vigo to Win
While this is a very close duel and it can certainly go either way, our prediction is for Celta Vigo to win. First of all, they are playing at home and that's an advantage that could determine the winner. Secondly, Celta Vigo won two of the last four duels against Athletic Bilbao, with the other two being draws. So, they know how to play against the Basque club.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
The last four head-to-head meetings between Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao have gone under 2.5 total goals, so we expect to see a similar game in their upcoming duel as well. In addition to this, three of the four matches played by these two clubs in La Liga this season have also gone under 2.5 total goals.
Both Teams to Score – No
Both teams have scored in just two of the last five h2h duels between Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao, so it's logical to expect the same thing in this match. Furthermore, both teams have scored in 50% of the matches played by these two teams in the league so far, so we don't expect both teams to score in this match.

Celta Vigo vs Athletic Bilbao preview: A very close matchup
After a fairly successful last season, Celta Vigo started the new season in La Liga with a draw against Osasuna and a loss to the reigning champions Atletico Madrid. So, they didn't have the best start to the season but now they will have a chance to get their first win against Athletic Bilbao at home. Vazquez, Baeza, and Fontan are on the team's injury list and they will miss the upcoming match.
Last season was pretty disappointing for Athletic Bilbao fans since the team failed to win a trophy despite playing in two finals of the Spanish cup. The team also didn't do that well in the league and they finished the season in the middle of the table. Athletic Bilbao started the new season with a couple of draws, against Elche and Barcelona. However, the team has five injured players at the moment, which could be a problem.
