Both sides are still seeking their first win of the season.
Celta Vigo will host Athletic Club at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos for a Matchday 3 fixture in the Spanish LaLiga 2026-27 season on Sunday night. The hosts have earned just a solitary point in the new league season, and they will host a side that have lost both of their opening matches.
A goalless draw with Valencia in their opening match earned Celta Vigo their first point of the season. However, Os Celestes followed this up with a 2-1 loss to CA Osasuna at home. Iago Aspas scored in the 14th minute to put his side ahead. However, following Marcos Alonso’s dismissal in the second half, Celta conceded twice to Kike Barja and Ante Budimir.
Athletic Club began their league campaign with a 3-1 loss to Sevilla, with Aitor Paredes’ goal going in vain. The Basque side then suffered a 2-0 loss on the road to Barcelona, with Edin Terzić’s men failing to trouble their Catalan opponents.
