Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this match will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and stats align with our predictive algorithm on this one. A.Bilbao and Celta have rarely been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in La Liga individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.30.
