Getafe - Athletic Bilbao predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Athletic Bilbao.

Athletic Bilbao will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.67 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

When it comes to Getafe’s previous La Liga clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (4.61) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Valencia. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

Athletic Bilbao’s previous La Liga match ended in victory, though it was a close one. Top online bookmakers considered them to have the upper hand against Deportivo Alavés going in. While the first half was inconclusive, they bagged a 1:0 home win.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Top bookmakers online are offering short odds on Athletic winning to Nill because they haven’t conceded a single goal for the past 3 matches.

This has been a difficult season for Getafe by all accounts. Currently sitting in 13th place, their relegation fears are still very much alive – especially knowing a very difficult game is at hand.

These two teams met earlier this season and the final result was a draw. Athletic are playing as the away team this time, which puts some doubt as to whether they’ll be able to pull ahead this time. According to the betting odds, though, they’re still the favourites.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.40.
