Athletic Bilbao start the weekend in sixth place with a Europa League place already guaranteed. They'll have to start in the qualifying rounds but can make the group stages if climbing above Celta Vigo into fifth. Bilbao trail them by two points so a win here will see them climb above Celta.  Bilbao will have to improve though as they have only one point from their last two games. They lost at home to Atletico Madrid and then needed two goals in the last three minutes to grab a 2-2 draw at bottom of the table Levante. Bilbao have just one win in the last three home games so will need to get back in form. Celta Vigo are only four points off Villarreal in fourth and a place in the Champions League. Villarreal are at Valencia this weekend so the chance might be there for Celta to close the gap. Form is good with just one defeat in their last ten league games and a seven game unbeaten run. Goals haven't been flowing though and eight of their last ten games have had under 2.5 goals scored (one of the others was a 7-1 loss at Real Madrid). Away form isn't too bad and the only two defeats in their last six were against Real and Barcelona. A tight game looks likely here and I go for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
