Premium Tips

Andy slightly favours Celta, whose home advantage tips a close game their way.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Celta Vigo to win and under 2.5 goals4/1The head-to-head is close, Athletic edging four of the last eight to Celta’s three, but Celta have the home platform, winning three of their last four meetings at Balaídos, including 2-0 and 1-0 scorelines. Last season Celta scored 53 and conceded 48, a more balanced record than Athletic’s 43 scored and 58 conceded, and that defensive gap supports the win. The under 2.5 is the looser leg: five of the last eight meetings went over, and both sides scored freely enough last season, so it leans on Celta repeating one of those tight home wins rather than the fixture norm.
Gorka Guruzeta to score anytime and Abdoulaye Faye over 2.5 tackles23/5Guruzeta is the reliable half. Athletic’s first-choice striker scored 10 league goals last season from 84 shots and 32 on target across 37 appearances, and here he faces a Celta defence that conceded 48, so his anytime price is well grounded. Galán is a regular at Osasuna, he attempted 46 tackles across 19 starts, about 2.4 per game, backed by 28 interceptions and 53 clearances.

How Celta Vigo go into the game

Celta drew 0-0 at Valencia in their last league outing, a hard-working point on the road. Balaidos is a lively venue and they will fancy their chances in a tight-looking contest.

Well-organised and dangerous going forward, Celta will look to make home advantage tell. Turning draws into wins is the aim as they eye a top-half finish.

How Athletic Club go into the game

Athletic Club were beaten 1-3 by Sevilla in their last league outing, a chastening home defeat. They travel to Galicia needing a response to steady the ship.

Athletic are typically strong but were well below their best last time. A trip to Balaidos is demanding, and they must be far more solid defensively.
