Celta Vigo, Recent FormLosing 1-0 away to Atletico Madrid won't leave the Celta Vigo squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 12 places above them in the league. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Atletico Madrid who had 21 attempts and 8 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Iago Aspas will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Celta Vigo.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Osasuna. In that game they recorded 67 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 13 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Goalscorer Iñaki Williams will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Athletic Bilbao.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Athletic Bilbao running out winners in a match that ended 4-3.
In each of the previous 4 matches against Celta, Lehoiak have let in at least one goal. Os Celestes have struggled for goals when Athletic comes to visit The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Athletic have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Celta.
Athletic has won the last 2 games they've played against Celta in the league.
With only Joseph Aidoo (Cruciate ligament) and Mihailo Ristić (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Claudio Giráldez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Ernesto Valverde has a number of injury concerns in his Athletic squad to contend with: Gorka Guruzeta (Appendicitis), Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta (Thigh) and Oihan Sancet (Hamstring)
