Match Stats

Athletic Bilbao started the season slowly, drawing against Getafe and losing 2-1 to Barcelona. However, they bounced back with a 1-0 win over Valencia and secured two consecutive victories, including a thrilling 3-2 win against Las Palmas and a 2-0 triumph over Leganes, thanks to goals from Dani Vivian and Inaki Williams. Currently fifth in the league with 10 points, they trail Atletico by just one point and sit five behind Barcelona. After finishing fifth last season and qualifying for the Europa League, they’ll face Roma next week, but their immediate focus is on overcoming Celta Vigo, who defeated them 2-1 in their last meeting in May.

Celta Vigo has emerged as a surprise this season, accumulating nine points from five matches to sit sixth in the standings, just behind Athletic. They began with wins against Alaves and Valencia but faced two losses against Villarreal and Osasuna before rebounding with a 3-1 victory over Real Valladolid, where Borja Iglesias netted his third goal. Despite having one of the league's worst defensive records with 10 goals conceded, they’ve scored 13, second only to Barcelona. Iago Aspas has contributed two goals, maintaining strong form. Celta has triumphed in their last two home matches against Athletic but lost a high-scoring encounter earlier this season, 4-3.
