Statistics

- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Athletic Club’s last 7 games in La Liga
- Athletic Club have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in La Liga
Prediction
The hosts winning form was halted with a loss and draw in the last two round in La Liga. But, the hosts will be wary of the fact that their scoring record is poor. If they can start finding the back of the net regularly, getting points wouldn’t be difficult.
The fortunes of Athletic Club have gone in completely opposite direction to that of their hosts. After a poor start, they remain unbeaten in their last four matches and should be confident going into this game. Also, they managed to keep back-to-back clean sheets in all competitions which should help them start confidently.
The visitors could end up taking home full points.
