Athletic Bilbao - Girona predictions

Athletic Bilbao are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Girona may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

It would be a minor miracle for Girona to win at Athletic Bilbao, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.89 price on most online sportsbooks.

The last round of the La Liga saw Athletic Bilbao fans end up being disappointed with their trip to $ Almería. Their team was expected to snag an easy win but ended up struggling to break through both at the halftime mark and by the final whistle.

Girona were priced 7.10 odds to win their previous La Liga away game, and also had to contend with playing as the away team. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the early game and eventually lost the showdown 4:0.

The previous 3 times we saw Athletic Bilbao play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, Girona have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Monday. Nico Williams, Dani Vivian, Gorka Guruzeta will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.10. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
