Celta de Vigo Preview
Celta Vigo lost in the last matchday of the domestic tournament against Mallorca, a result that does not sit well with the squad because it makes their goal of avoiding relegation much more difficult.
Los Celestes are in seventeenth place in the overall standings, and only the goal differential separates the team from the red zone, which is not surprising considering that they have only won one game in La Liga since the restart of domestic competitions. In fact, the team has not scored three points in the last 10 of their 11 most recent first division matches.
The team’s home field has not been a something it has been able to take advantage of in this 2022-23 season, winning only 2 of the 9 matches it has played.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Agustín Marchesín; Joseph Aidoo, Unai Núñez, Óscar Mingueza; Hugo Mallo, Fran Beltrán, Franco Cervi, Gabri Veiga, Javi Galán; Jørgen Strand Larsen, Iago Aspas.
Betting on Athletic Bilbao
Athletic Bilbao recovered from the loss they suffered by Real Madrid in La Liga by defeating Valencia in the Copa del Rey. The team then reached the semifinals of the competition, in which it has competed so well in recent years.
The Lions are in eighth place in the overall standings, just 5 points away from the European places, a goal they can still achieve if they can improve their numbers. As several clubs are going through a difficult time and are dropping points in this stretch, Athletic Bilbao needs to win more points.
Away from home, this team has only been able to win twice so far, but it has managed to draw 3 times, so it is not a team that will make things easy for their opponents.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Unai Simón; Óscar De Marcos, Dani Vivian, Aitor Paredes, Yuri Berchiche; Mikel Balenziaga, Oier Zarraga; Iñaki Williams, Oihan Sancet, Nico Williams; Gorka Guruzeta.
JefeBet Prediction
The first match between these two teams went Celta Vigo in San Mames, a result that is unlikely to be repeated this Sunday because the level of play is quite different from last year.
However, there is an interesting trend that has been true in most of the meetings between these two teams: in 6 of their most recent meetings, less than 3 goals have been scored . It would not be strange for this to happen again, as the home team has had very close games in recent La Liga matches, while the Leones tend to play a good defensive game in their opponents’ half of the field.
Prediction: Under (CEL 0-1 ATH).
