Celta Vigo will face Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao in a crucial match at the Estadio San Mames on Saturday in the 2022-23 La Liga season’s second round of matches.
Celta Vigo, which is 13th in the La Liga standings and has been inconsistent thus far this season, currently occupies this position. Last week, the Galician team lost to Valencia 2-1, and they will need to get back on track in this game.
Athletic Bilbao, then again, is in the eighth spot in the association table right now and has been genuinely great this season. Los Leones experienced a harmful 5-1 loss against Villarreal in their last game and have a highlight demonstration this end of the week.

Athletic Club vs Celta Vigo Prediction :
Although Athletic Bilbao has performed better under Ernesto Valverde, the team has not lived up to expectations in recent weeks. The Basque team has a poor record in this match, so it will need to perform at its best. On a good day, Celta Vigo can make a big impact, but they’ve also lied this season. At the moment, both teams are on an even footing and could draw this weekend.
Prediction: Athletic Bilbao 2-2 Celta Vigo
Athletic Club vs Celta Vigo Head to Head :
Athletic Bilbao has a decent late record against Celta Vigo and has won 18 out of the last 39 matches played between the two groups, rather than Celta Vigo’s 11 triumphs. In La Liga, Athletic Bilbao has failed to score in both of their home losses against Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao’s last two games.
Celta Vigo has won their last two matches against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and could get three back-to-back association triumphs against them without precedent for their set of experiences. Celta Vigo could complete a La Liga double over Athletic Bilbao for the first time since the 1992–1993 season after winning the reverse match by a score of 1-0. In their last four La Liga contests, Athletic Bilbao has lost three of those contests and gone winless.
Athletic Club vs Celta Vigo Team news :
Athletic will once again be without Jon Morcillo and Inigo Martinez because of injuries, but Dani Vivian is back from a suspension and should be back in the starting lineup. As Valverde looks for a winning formula, Oscar de Marcos is expected to return to the first team on Saturday, and Iker Muniain could start in an attacking position.
Although Nico Williams, Oihan Sancet, and Inaki Williams will continue to play in the final third of the field, Mikel Vesga may also play in the central midfield position. In contrast, the return of crucial defenders Joseph Aidoo and Javi Galan, who were both suspended for the home loss to Valencia the previous time out, will help Celta.
However, Diego Alves and Agustin Marchesin remain sidelined as a result of injuries, and Renato Tapia is now suspended as a result of his yellow card against Los Che. Goncalo Paciencia and Jorgen Strand Larsen may both make the starting lineup for Celta, who may also be without Haris Seferovic and Iago Aspas due to injuries sustained in the team’s most recent match.
