Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Celta Vigo in the round 16 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, December 19th at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao).
Athletic lost their previous away match at Betis, 0-1. That defeat came as no surprise as the team isn’t strong in matches on the road, recording only seven points in eight away matches. At the same time, the team is strong at home, recording 16 points in seven games at San Mames with 13-7 aggregate goal difference and the most recent home lose was recorded back in the end of August. Successful results at own turf allow the team to sit on high seventh place in the league with 23 points taken in 15 matches.

Celta also lost their recent match in the league, suffering home defeat against Sevilla, 0-3. That loss ended 5-match undefeated run of Vigo side in all competitions since the end of November. The team stick to end-to-end football, scoring and allowing numerous goals. The visiting side is currently 13th in the league with 21 points and 24-29 aggregate goal difference. Celta are unable to win on the road since the end of September, for four away matches in a row and gained only six points in seven away matches.
Athletic Bilbao won their recent three head-to-heads with Celta, 2-1, 1-0 and 2-1. Considering consistent results of the hosts of San Mames, there are almost no doubts that Athletic will take another win over Celta Vigo, who clearly don’t know how to play on the road.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win.
