Athletic Bilbao - Celta de Vigo predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Celta de Vigo may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.93 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

The home team were the most likely winners of their previous La Liga engagement even before kick-off, but few saw the crushing 0:2 away victory coming. After a rather mediocre first half, they completely dominated the later stages of the game.

Team from Vigo are here on the back of a noted triumph against Real Valladolid. They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match, which lead to a comfortable 3:1 home victory.

Athletic Bilbao have registered 6 goals in their three previous games, so we can expect a lot of action this Sunday.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

The away team are going into a very difficult matchup after a string of solid performances in the early season. They would need 2 points to climb up to a Champions League qualifying spot, but such ambitions are probably on hold at the moment. Defending what they currently have will be hard enough with so many challenges still ahead of them.

The visitors’ status as underdogs is further made worse by the exceptionally high number of injuries going into this match. Carlos Domínguez Cáceres, Mihailo Ristić, Javi Manquillo, Luca De La Torre, Jaílson will all be unable to play at San Mamés Barria, so think twice before putting down any bets.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.79 odds offered at Pncl.
