Athletic Bilbao vs Celta Prediction: expect a productive encounter

Prediction for the La Liga match which will take place on September 22. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Basques have picked up 10 points in six matches played, losing to Barcelona and Atletico, a 1:1 draw with Getafe and wins over Valencia, Las Palmas and Leganes. Before the start of Saturday's sixth round pool, Athletic were in sixth place, one point behind Villarreal, a team from the Champions League competition.

After a strong start of two consecutive victories over Alaves and Valencia at home, Celta lost two consecutive away matches, Villarreal and Osasuna, both of which were successful. In the last round of La Liga, Celta won again on their field against Valladolid with a score of 3:1. Before the start of Saturday's sixth round pool, Celta was in seventh place with 9 points, which is one point less than Atletico, the Galician's future opponents.

At the start of the 2024/25 season, Celta is a power to be reckoned with. However, it should be noted that so far the Galicians have picked up points exclusively in home games, away Celta have two defeats in two meetings, although it should be recognised that Celta has scored three times against Villarreal and twice against Osasuna, which is very good. But, we should not forget that Athletic is a difficult club that plays well at home. We believe that we are expecting a rather productive encounter, in which the Basques will win at home.
