Athletic Bilbao is struggling to return to Europe, consistently finishing out of the top seven spots. In the last two seasons, they finished eight, close to securing Europe. The current season has started well for the Basque team, with them in 5th place with 21 points from 12 rounds, just four away from the Champions League spot.
Celta Vigo has experienced a decline in recent seasons, finishing 13th last season but only three points away from the relegation zone. Despite acquiring Rafa Benitez as a high-profile coach, the club’s poor results continued this season, putting them in 18th place with only seven points, two points away from the safe zone.
Athletic Bilbao is currently in fifth place in La Liga, despite not being a dominant home team in the previous season. They have only lost once in six home games, a loss on the opening day against Real Madrid. Since then, they have been great, particularly on the offensive end, scoring 14 goals – 2.8 per game.
Celta Vigo has lost seven out of 12 games in La Liga this season, with their only win against Almeria (3:2). Almeria was a better team and deserved at least one point. Celta Vigo, despite their home-pitch advantage and recent wins, has been disappointing on the road, indicating a surprise if they don’t win comfortably.
