Athletic Bilbao - Celta de Vigo betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.60 is a solid option. That said, Celta de Vigo may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Athletic Bilbao and the 7.00 odds given to The Sky Blues to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Athletic Bilbao’s morale is riding high after a dominating performance at Villarreal in the previous round. Online bookmakers priced their away win at 3.20 and they delivered on those expectations by taking the lead in the first half and holding on to it until the end.

Celta De Vigo’s latest performance against Sevilla was a bit below expectations. Everything seemed fine in the first half– they had an early lead, a slightly favourable matchup, and home-field advantage. In the end, however, they had to settle for a 1:1 draw.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Athletic may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Looking over their most recent appearances, The Sky Blues have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net. The past 3 home games saw them concede over 5 times.

With just 7 points to their name in round 13, Team from Vigo can’t be too happy with how they’ve performed so far. To make matters worse, they’re entering this bout as underdogs, so moving up the table any time soon would be difficult.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Yeray, Raúl García, Yuri, Ander Herrera for the hosts, and Joseph Aidoo, Luca De La Torre, Mihailo Ristić for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.00, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
