Prediction: 1-0
Athletic Bilbao
Celta Vigo and Athletic Club face each other at Estadio de Balaidos in what is expected to be a closer La Liga encounter. Os Celeste aim to build on a thrilling 4-3 win over Huesca where Santi Mina scored his sixth goal of the season, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their seventh home win of the season. The good news for the hosts is that Peru defender Renato Tapia returns from suspension.
The Basques, on the other hand, did well to beat Granada at home at the weekend, but given their anything but brilliant away record, we are tempted to put our money on the Galicians this time out. Inigo Martinez is banned for the match, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In the first half of the season Celta defeated Athletic 2-0 at San Mames.
Highlighted Player (Nolito):
Widely known as Nolito, Manuel Agudo Durán is a Spanish forward born on 15 October 1986 in Sanlucar de Barrameda, who has had an unconventional path to stardom. The highly rated footballer did not go through Barcelona’s famous La Masia youth academy, but he rather joined the B side in 2008 and went on to show a great deal of potential.
Nolito also made a couple of performances for the senior side, but ultimately left for Benfica in an attempt to secure regular playing time. That proved an excellent decision as the winger produced some scintillating showings at Estadio da Luz, and following a loan spell with Granada, he returned to La Liga to sign for Celta Vigo. During his time at Balaidos, Nolito developed into one of league’s leading footballers, usually playing on the left wing and wreaking havoc after cutting inside.
The experienced footballer scored almost 40 league goals in first 100 appearances for the Sky Blues, while also breaking into the Spain national team, and despite making his La Furia Roja debut at the age of 28, he quickly became an important player for the side.
