Football : Spanish La Liga

Match Preview :
Celta Vigo are battling to avoid relegation from the La Liga for the first time ever in their history and really need to pick up 3 points here if they want to stay up.
The visitors Athletic Bilbao are already considered safe from relegation but just need a few more points to be sure.
Celta Vigo have managed back to back wins recently, and that has lifted them off the bottom of the standings to 18th spot and will want to claim all three points in this match. At the moment, there are 6 teams at the bottom of the table all within 5 points of each other and any 3 of them could go down.
The 2-1 home win over Zaragoza and a 1-0 away win over Levante has brought confidence to Celta Vigo at the right time and with two home matches in a row coming up they know it is their best chance to move away from the bottom three.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao are 14th in La Liga with 37 points from 33 matches which leaves them 7 points ahead of the relegation zone. Even with 5 games to go, Athletic Bilbao's position is still not mathematically safe from relegation. They will need to win one or at least two games to be certain of staying up.
Their form is not that great as they have failed to win in their last four games now, but the 2-2 draw against Barcelona will give them some confidence.
