Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao are both in fine form and should produce an exciting evening in the last match of La Liga’s 23 round.
Celta managed back to back wins for the first time in ages, beating Betis and Granada and scoring 6 goals in the process. Thus the hosts moved up to the 11th place and are pretty safe from relegation right now. Celta has played pretty good football this season, rarely parking the bus – scoring 29 and conceding 35 goals in 22 rounds. For this game in-form Celta will have to play without Bermejo – while Rafinha, Oubina and Samuel are questionable.
Celta Vigo lineup: Yoel – Mallo, Fontas, Costas, Jonny – Fernandez, Oubina, Rafinha – Nolito, Charles, Orellana

Bilbao`s aim for sure is that 4th place that would qualify them to the Champions League playoffs – and they should like their odds to achieve that goal – Athletic is on 4th place, 3 points in front of Villareal and with a game in hand. Bilbao is in good form despite not winning in the last 2 games, but they played Atletico Madrid (cup, 1-2) and Real Madrid (1-1). In La Liga, the visitors have 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 games, particularly impressing in offense – before the 1-1 with Real, Athletic put 15 (!!!) goals past Osasuna, Valladolid and Almeria. Bilbao is again healthy, only Toquero set to miss the game.
Athletic Bilbao lineup: Iraizoz – Iraola, Laporte, Gurpegi, Balenziaga – Rico, Iturraspe – Susaeta, Ander, Muniain – Aduriz
Celta plays nice football and for sure will not park the bus, while Athletic is known to be an offensive team with such quality players up front, so I expect some goals to be scored in this one. Both teams have been clinical in front of goal lately, scoring almost at will, so my tip here will be over 2,5 goals. Earlier this season Bilbao beat Celta at home 3-2 in an all out attacking display – as a testament for the matchup that the two sides produce – and I see nothing else than another high scoring game between these two teams this Monday. On the other hand the last 5 home matches Celta played against Athletic finished with under 2,5 goals – but this is not relevant for the current season. Pick the over 2,5 goals bet with excellent odds by Sbobet. My correct score prediction would be Celta Vigo – Athletic Bilbao 2-2.
Pick: over 2,5 goals
