Following a disappointing opening day loss against Atletico Madrid, Celta held Osasuna to a goalless draw in their last match.
It was a poor day for Celta as they could not muster even a single shot on target and hence, this becomes a crucial clash with Celta needing to find some form.
On the other hand, Athletic Club have begun their season with successive draws against Elche and Barcelona respectively.
In the 1-1 draw against the Catalan club, Martinez and Depay scored for either side to ensure a share of the spoils.
Athletic Club like their opponents are in need of their first win of the season as well. They aim to improve from past performances and prove their worth.
