The Lions are currently fifth in the table after picking up 10 points from their opening six matches of the campaign, while a strong start has seen Celta collect nine points to sit sixth in the division.

Athletic had a slow start to the season, being held at home by Getafe in their campaign opener before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Barcelona, but they managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Valencia at the end of August.

A second defeat in three matches followed at home to Atletico Madrid, but Athletic have been victorious in their last two games, winning a five-goal thriller against Las Palmas last weekend before beating Leganes 2-0 on Thursday through goals from Dani Vivian and Inaki Williams.

Ernesto Valverde’s side finished fifth in La Liga in 2023-24 to qualify for the league phase of this season’s Europa League, with their opener in the competition set to take place away to Roma next week.

Meanwhile, Celta have been one of the surprise packages in La Liga this season, picking up nine points from their five matches to sit sixth in the table, one point behind Athletic ahead of this weekend’s game.

Celta started their campaign with successive wins over Alaves and Valencia, before losing their next two to Villarreal and Osasuna, but they were back to winning ways last weekend, beating Real Valladolid 3-1, with Borja Iglesias scoring his third league goal of the season.

The Sky Blues actually have the joint second-worst defensive record in the league this season, having conceded 10 times, but they have scored 13, with only Barcelona (17) managing more at this stage.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Celta Vigo Head to head

In the previous 54 meetings between these two teams, Athletic have claimed 24 victories while Celta have won 14, and they have drawn in 16. Celta have scored 63 goals and conceded 75 in the process.

Athletic Bilbao Team News

Athletic will be without the services of Nico Williams for this match, with the Spain international sustaining an ankle injury during the game against Leganes.

Yeray Alvarez and Unai Simon are also still missing, but aside from Williams, the team did not pick up any further concerns against Leganes, so it will be largely the same squad from Thursday’s contest.
