Athletic Bilbao - Girona predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.53 bring great value considering the fact that Athletic Bilbao are indeed firm favourites to defeat Girona.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of The Lions and the 7.00 odds given to Girona to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

The home team were given a slight edge over their opponents in the previous round despite playing away. Despite these odds, though, the first half ended inconclusively. Worse yet, the second half was completely dominated by their opponents Valencia, who recorded a decisive 2:0 victory.

Last round must have been uncomfortable for Girona’s players. All the cards seemed to be stacked in their favour – a home-field advantage against Levante who were widely considered the weaker team going in. The final result was a shocking 0:4 defeat, however, as Girona never managed to take control of the pitch.

Girona may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

The visitors are coming into this game as hard underdogs, so their shot at earning some points is not looking great. However, they’ll be highly motivated to do so if they want to get out of the relegation zone. The bright side is that they’re still fairly early in the season.

As far as the recent history of this matchup goes, the records show a decisive victory by Team from Bilbao last season. They even secured a solid lead, which is part of the reason most bookies consider them to be the favourites in this matchup.

Tuesday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

This is a solid match for those that like betting on longshots. Our advice is to pick Draw/Home on the Half Time/Full Time market. The probability of winning is not that high if we’re being honest, but it’s the best offer if you’re shooting for betting value.
