Celta Vigo return to Balaidos desperate to address their poor home form as they welcome an Athletic Club side that, while defensively solid, have struggled for consistency in recent weeks. The hosts come into this game boosted by a shock 2-0 away victory over Real Madrid last weekend , their fourth win in six La Liga matches, Softfootball reports.
That result highlighted Celta's ability to rise to big occasions, but translating that form to home soil remains a major issue. They are still without a home league win this season, drawing five and losing three of their eight matches at Balaidos, while failing to keep a clean sheet in any of those games.
Confidence also took a knock in midweek European action, as Claudio Giraldez's side surrendered a lead to lose 2-1 against Bologna in the UEFA Europa League. That defeat means Celta have now lost four of their last seven matches across all competitions, underlining the inconsistency that continues to undermine their progress.
