Team News

Athletic Club
Celta Vigo
  • Athletic will be without Nico Williams due to an ankle injury, along with ongoing absences of Yeray Alvarez and Unai Simon.
  • Inaki Williams is set to replace his brother, while Oihan Sancet is likely to return in the number 10 role.
  • Celta will miss Jailson, Javi Manquillo, Mihailo Ristic, Carlos Domínguez, and Luca de la Torre due to injuries, but Alfon Gonzalez is back from suspension.
  • Iglesias will lead the attack with Aspas and Pablo Duran on the flanks.
  • A change in the back three is necessary due to Jailson's shoulder injury, potentially giving Marcos Alonso a starting role.

Prediction

  • Athletic Club initially struggling in their first four games, drawing with Getafe and losing to Barcelona before clinching a 1-0 win against Valencia. Despite a loss to Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club bounced back with victories against Las Palmas and Leganes, placing them fifth in the league.
  • With 10 points, they are a point off Champions League places. Athletic aim to continue their success in the league while gearing up for their Europa League campaign, starting against Roma.
  • Celta Vigo have been a surprise in La Liga, securing nine points from five matches, sitting sixth in the standings. After a strong start with wins over Alaves and Valencia, they faced setbacks against Villarreal and Osasuna before defeating Real Valladolid. Despite conceding 10 goals, their attack has been potent, with Borja Iglesias leading the charge.
  • Celta's goals have been well-distributed, with Iago Aspas contributing two. They face Athletic and with Celta's poor away form this season with losses in all their away games a repeat of last season's win looks unlikely.
