Athletic Bilbao vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Sunday’s match at San Mames Barria pits together the two teams who are eyeing a place in the Europa League. Athletic Bilbao came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Levante at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia at the weekend, but considering that the Lions are a real force to be reckoned with at home, home win appears on the horizon. In previous two meetings between the two teams Ernesto Valverde’s men emerged triumphant and there is every chance history will repeat itself.
