Celta de Vigo vs Athletic Club Preview
Celta de Vigo welcome Athletic to Abanca-Balaídos sitting eleventh after a mixed run of recent results, though their home form tells a more encouraging story. Ten points from five league matches on their own patch underlines the fortress mentality Claudio Giráldez has cultivated. The loss of Matías Vecino to a knee injury is a blow in midfield, while Javi Galán's fitness remains uncertain despite his return to group training.
Athletic Club arrive in Vigo languishing in seventeenth, their away form a genuine concern with three defeats in their last five on the road. Back-to-back wins have offered a lifeline, yet consistency has eluded Ernesto Valverde's side this term. Dani Vivian's hamstring problem leaves the defence short, though the return of Yuri Berchiche after suspension provides a timely boost at left-back for this Matchday 3 fixture.
Celta's home record is the cornerstone of the 1X selection. Ten points from five league matches at Balaídos underlines a venue where they are difficult to beat, and their most recent hosting of Athletic ended in a comfortable 2-0 victory. By contrast, Athletic have collected just six points from their last five away fixtures, a sequence that included three consecutive defeats on the road.
The double chance covering a home win or draw looks well supported at 2.38. Athletic's away fragility is compounded by the absence of centre-back Dani Vivian, whose hamstring problem leaves their defensive line weakened. Yuri Berchiche returns from suspension, which helps, but Celta should exploit set-piece and wide areas against a reshuffled backline.
Both teams have scored in five of the last six head-to-head meetings, making 1.83 an appealing secondary angle. With Celta's attacking intent at home and Athletic needing to push forward to salvage points, goals at both ends feel likely. The over 2.5 goals market at 2.05 also merits consideration given the open nature of recent encounters between these sides.
