Celtic vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction: Who will be able to please their fans?

Prediction for the match between Celtic and Athletic Bilbao which will take place on August 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Celtic is very active in the offseason. Recall that at the end of last season, the team won the Scottish league and the cup. After a draw with Portimonense (0:0), Celtic beat him (4:1), but then in a spectacular fight, lost to Yokohama (4:6). Then there was a dry victory over Gamba Osaka (1:0), and in the last friendly at the moment Celtic drew with Wolverhampton (1:1). In general, they are not wasting any time. They are actively preparing for the new campaign.

Athletic took part in only three friendly matches this summer. Recall that last campaign, and the team finished eighth in the La Liga standings - just a little short of the European Cup. First, the Basque lost dry to Mexican Guadalajara (0:2) and then beat Necaxa (2:0). After that, they secured a 0:0 draw with Racing.

In this battle, we do not favor anyone. Celtic has worked harder during the pre-season, but Athletic is still more energized. We think that the Basques will give the Scottish team a fight and score one or two goals, despite their performance problems. But Celtic will successfully break through the Basque defense several times, as they have a great attack. That's why it's logical to bet on the total over.
