The story

Relegation zone battle as winless sides seek first victory

Two sides currently mired in the relegation zone meet at the Estadio de Balaídos as both Celta Vigo and Athletic Club search for their first three points of the new La Liga campaign.

Match news & current form

Celta Vigo sit 14th with just one point from their opening two matches. Claudio Giráldez’s side followed up a goalless draw at Valencia with a frustrating 2-1 home defeat to Osasuna on Thursday. They are currently inside the relegation zone with 36 games remaining to secure their top-flight status.

Athletic Club have endured an even tougher start under Edin Terzic, suffering back-to-back defeats against Sevilla and Barcelona. Currently 19th and without a point, the Basque side is looking to avoid a prolonged slump after missing out on European football last season for the first time since 2023.

Head-to-head history

The recent history between these clubs is perfectly balanced, with two wins apiece and one draw in their last five meetings. Their most recent encounter in May ended in a 1-1 stalemate where Iñaki Williams cancelled out Celta’s opening goal. Historically, Celta have held the upper hand at the Balaídos, winning 31 of their 68 home meetings against Athletic.

Hot stats & streaks
  • Athletic Club have lost two consecutive matches to start the season, conceding multiple goals in both fixtures.
  • Celta Vigo have failed to win their first two games of a campaign for the second successive year.
  • The home side has won nearly half of all historical meetings played at the Estadio de Balaídos (31 of 68).
  • Athletic Club have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two league outings.
Key players & missing men

Celta Vigo must reshuffle their backline as defender Marcos Alonso serves a one-match suspension following his red card against Osasuna; Borja Iglesias also remains sidelined. Athletic Club arrive with a significant injury list, missing Dani Vivian, Aitor Gorosabel, and Beñat Prados Diaz, which further complicates Edin Terzic’s defensive setup. Iñaki Williams remains the focal point for the visitors, having scored in the most recent meeting between these two teams.
