Celta Vigo take on Athletic Bilbao looking to make amends for a 2-1 midweek defeat to Osasuna. The hosts were punished after Marcos Alonso was sent off early in the second half, with the experienced defender now suspended. Striker Borja Iglesias remains in the recovery room, but Celta have lost just once in their last six matches at home, while failing to score in only one of their last 10 overall. Experienced attacker Iago Aspas is likely to start from the bench once again.
Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win of the season after back-to-back defeats to Sevilla and Barcelona. Despite the poor start, the visitors have an excellent recent away record, winning five of their last eight road games and scoring 2.88 goals per match in that span. Prados Diaz and Vivian are both doubtful, however, while a man to watch in the away team will be Barcelona summer target Nico Williams.
Athletic's recent away games average 3.63 goals and given Celta's attacking potential at home, we are tempted to bet on Over 1.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Bilbao or Draw (fine away form).
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday 30 August 2026 at 20:30.
