Double chance : Athletic Club or draw

Athletic Club and Celta Vigo are set to face off in what looks like a very close match. Both teams have had mixed results lately, with some wins and some losses, so neither is in particularly strong or weak form. When these two sides have met in the past, there have often been several goals—recent games have ended 2-0, 3-1, and 4-3, showing that matches between them tend to be open and exciting.

Given how similar the teams look in their recent performances and head-to-head history, this match is likely to be tight and could go either way. Neither side has a clear advantage, so a draw would be a very believable outcome for this game.
