Celta Vigo take on the visitors Athletic Bilbao in the round 36 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 15th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo).
At the end of the season, Celta at home and Celta away are two completely different teams. Away from home, the Celestials have been losing match after match lately: to Betis (1-2), Alaves (0-3), and Atletico Madrid (0-1). However, in the last four home games in La Liga, the team has collected 10 out of 12 possible points, securing three victories: against Almeria (1-0), Las Palmas (4-1), and Villarreal (3-2). Thanks to these results, in Vigo, the Celts are now five points clear of the relegation zone, and the end of the season may not turn out to be too nerve-wracking. I believe that in the match against the Basques at their home ground, Claudio Hidalgo's charges will score because it's still too early to relax in the survival battle.

In the first round of this season, the Basques, alongside Celta, had an exciting shootout to the delight of goal lovers, ending in favor of the Lions with a hockey score of 4-3. In Vigo, seven goals might not be expected, but the opponents are capable of troubling each other at least once. As for the league table, with three rounds to go, Athletic Bilbao are eight points away from the Champions League zone, where the team can only reach if they win all their matches and Atletico Madrid loses all three of theirs. It sounds unreal. The Basques are already out of the Europa League zone. Lately, the team rarely wins. In the last six rounds, they only managed to beat Getafe (2-0). The results of the other matches in this stretch are as follows: draws with Osasuna (2-2), Granada (1-1), and Villarreal (1-1), defeats to two Madrid giants: Atletico (1-3) and Real Madrid (0-2).
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao have almost stopped winning in the league. Initially, there were thoughts of betting on the hosts not to lose in this match. But the bookmakers offer too low odds for such an event. Well, then I'll take Both Teams to Score. Because both teams seem to have a decent attack, but defensively, both the Celts and the Basques haven't looked their best in spring. The last two head-to-head encounters between the teams ended in favor of the Lions, but in both cases, Vigo's players also scored (1-2, 3-4).
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
