Celta Vigo vs Ath Bilbao Prediction & Betting Tips (15 May)

We will have to fight until the end to wrest the hold from Balaidos. A rather well-known pattern for Celta Vigo which obtained its continuation during the final day of La Liga last year against the already crowned champion: FC Barcelona. Starting this J36 in 17th position, Aspas and his comrades were five lengths ahead of Cadiz, which remains seriously insufficient. Additionally, last weekend they were unable to break Atlético's lock at the Wanda Metropolitano 1-0 defeat. For years, the main strength of this club was its impregnable fortress, and for a few games now, it seems to have found it again by being untouchable for four games for a record of three victories against Almeria 1-0, Las Palmas 4 -1 and the latest, against Villarreal 3-2. Since its coronation in the Copa del Rey, Bilbao has drastically slowed down and even seems to have lost all hope of participating in the next UEFA Champions League following its defeat on the lawn of its most credible competitor: Atlético Madrid 3-1 .

Note also that the Basques had slapped the Colchoneros three times this season, including two victories in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey. Still 5th in the elite, Athletic Club ended its season on a slow pace having won only one of its last six matches in the elite against Getafe on the road 0-2. For the rest, it is an unflattering record of three draws and two defeats. Last weekend, the Williams&Co brothers failed to gain the upper hand over Osasuna 2-2 despite being deprived of their best player Budimir injured.

Tonight, boys like Joseph Aidoo (crucial), Carles Perez (ex-FC Barcelona), Ristic (relapse) and young Swedish midfielder Swedberg (4 goals in just 13 appearances this season) could stay warm (injuries) . For the rest, the group will be complete with in particular the prolific Larsen (Norwegian international, 12 league goals) and captain Iago Aspas (8 goals, 9 assists) who will try to shake up the Basque Country team. Bilbao will be deprived of his starting left side Yuri Berchiche (ex-PSG) who will serve his suspension (accumulation of yellow cards). In this small game, the starting central defenders: Alvarez and Paredes will make their return. Note that the scorer Guruzeta (14 goals, 5 assists) is gradually recovering from his appendicitis operation while the crack Sancet (4 goals, 5 assists) suffers from a muscle contusion and will be out of the team.

match this evening. Ditto for Ruiz de Galarreta (muscle injury). The Williams brothers: Nico (4 pawns, 10 assists in La Liga) and Inaki (12 goals, 3 goals in La Liga) will be traveling to Balaidos to lead the Basque attack.
