Celta Vigo Preview – Can Celta Vigo win back-to-back?
A 4-3 win away from home at Huesca last weekend saw Celta Vigo pick up another three points and move themselves further away from the relegation zone and the hosts now sit in a more comfortable 10th place and more importantly, hold a useful 10-point margin ahead of the bottom three.
Celta Vigo’s next target will be to establish themselves in the top half of La Liga and having lost just once in their last seven matches overall, the hosts at last seem to be heading in the right direction following a worrying three-match losing streak earlier in the season.
Celta Vigo have secured recent wins against Elche and Huesca while also picking up points in draws with Eibar, Granada, Atletico Madrid and Real Valladolid while seven of Celta Vigo’s 12 home matches have seen both teams score.
Athletic Bilbao Preview – Can Bilbao bounce back?
A disappointing but perfectly understandable 2-1 defeat away at Atletico Madrid ended Athletic Bilbao’s previous encouraging five-match run without defeat in La Liga and the visitors hit the road again for this upcoming clash at Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Nevertheless, wins against Cadiz and Granada have helped Athletic Bilbao maintain their position in the top half of La Liga as they occupy 9th place and they perhaps still harbour ambitions of a possible top six finish but they’ll need to pick up another three points here if they’re to keep their hopes alive.
This may be easier said than done though as Athletic Bilbao have managed to win just one of their last 11 matches on their travels, so the goals market may appeal here especially as nine of Athletic Bilbao’s 13 away matches have seen both teams score.
