Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-1 in favor of Athletic Club.
Athletic are likely to press high and use home momentum to control territory, while Celta may look to absorb pressure and counter quickly. The key battle is Athletic's wing play versus Celta's defensive spacing, with set pieces and second balls likely to be decisive.
