# Celta Vigo Slump as Athletic Bilbao Hand Victory
Celta Vigo's recent form has been a cause for concern, with the Galician side slipping down the La Liga standings. A 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao last weekend highlighted their struggles, as Celta failed to convert chances and saw their lead overturned in the 85th minute. The Biscaneños, despite a shaky start, managed to secure a point, leaving Celta winless in their last three matches.
Celta Vigo's slump has been a talking point among fans, with many questioning the team's ability to maintain consistency. Key players like Iago Aspas and Renato Veiga have been out of form, and the defensive issues that plagued the team earlier in the season have re-emerged. Celta currently sits 11th in La Liga, and a failure to pick up results against mid-table sides like Athletic Bilbao could see them fall further behind in the race for European qualification.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao has been on a roll, with a 1-1 draw at Celta Vigo extending their unbeaten run to six matches. The Bilbao side has been impressive defensively, conceding just two goals in their last five games. A goalscoring partnership between Williams and Nolasko has also been key, with both players netting crucial goals in recent matches. Athletic Bilbao's form has put them in contention for a top-half finish, and their ability to grind out results against tough opponents like Celta Vigo is a sign of their growing confidence.
As Celta Vigo continues to struggle, Athletic Bilbao's victory over them serves as a reminder of the gap between the two sides. Celta will need to regroup quickly, especially with upcoming fixtures against Real Sociedad and Barcelona, while Athletic Bilbao will look to build on their recent form. The match between these two sides has once again highlighted the contrasting fortunes of La Liga's mid-table teams.
