Prediction: 1-0
Celta Vigo
Following a 1-1 draw with Villarreal, Athletic Club will be aiming to return to winning ways in Primera Division when they host Celta Vigo to their Estadio San Mames. The Lions have been impressive on home soil of late, with the team winning four of their last five home fixtures, but they will have to prove their worth on the field.
Mikel Vesga, who limped off with injury against the Yellow Submarine, is a major doubt, with Alex Petxa pushing for a start. Os Celeste, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form. Since the Galicians collected only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Basque outfit. Hugo Mallo continues to miss out with injury, but there are no fresh selection worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Iker Muniain):
Iker Muniain was once considered one of the most talented players in Spain, but he obviously failed to reach his full potential. Munian is an attacking midfielder, who is capable of playing as a forward as well and he began his youth career at Chantrea. In 2005 he made probably the best decision of his career as he joined Athletic Bilbao youth academy.
He made his debut for Athletic Bilbao on 30 July, 2009 in a 1-0 loss to Young Boys in the Europa League. Iker Munian impressed in the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign with the Lions, scoring nine goals in all competitions, but he failed to make a bigger progress. The Athletic Bilbao product has been struggling with injuries and it has to be noted that the injury he suffered against Sevilla on 4 April, 2015 could have ruined his career.
However, he returned to action on 20 December, but he was playing below expectations in the second half of the season. Iker Munian made his Spain debut on 29 February, 2012 in a friendly against Venezuela. La Roja won the match 5-0 and Munian came as a substitute in the 74th minute of the match.
Highlighted Team (Celta Vigo):
Celta de Vigo is a Spanish football club from Vigo in the Galicia region. The club was founded in 1923 after a fusion between Real Club Fortuna de Vigo and Real Vigo Sporting. From 1997 until 2003 Celta de Vigo managed to become a strong team in the Primera Division. Highlight was season 2003/2004 where the club managed to reach the knock out stage of the Champions League but in the same season the team got downgraded to the Segunda Division.
