Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Athletic Club.
Celta likely to press higher and seek through balls to exploit spaces behind Athletic fullbacks; Athletic will balance press with compactness, look to exploit transitions and set-pieces; midfield battle and set-piece duels will be decisive.
Athletic's defensive organisation and recent away resilience increase their win probability, while Celta's inconsistent home form and finishing reduce home win chances; expected low-to-medium scoring keeps draw plausible.
