Athletic Bilbao and Both Teams To Score

Athletic Bilbao 3-1

Reason for tip

Athletic Bilbao have scored an average of three-goals-per-game across their last three home fixtures, but Almeria have netted in seven matches on the spin and can trouble the scoresheet if nothing else on Friday night. A routine 3-1 home win looks a distinct possibility.

Bilbao to bounce back from Basque derby defeat

It has been a long week for Athletic Bilbao following last week’s 3-0 defeat to Real Sociedad in the Basque derby, but back on home soil they will expect to get the better of La Liga’s bottom club Almeria, a team they have beaten in each of their last four meetings.

Bilbao have taken seven points from their three home matches since losing their season opener at the San Mames to Real Madrid and they have scored nine goals during that time.

Ernesto Valverde will be confident his side can run up the goals against Almeria as well, as no side has conceded more times in La Liga this season than the visitors (21).

Keeping a clean-sheet might be slightly more difficult for Bilbao, who have conceded five across their last two matches,

Scoring not the problem for Almeria

Getting on the scoresheet should not be a problem for Almeria at the San Mames, as they have netted in each of their last seven matches, but they are still the only side yet to win in La Liga this season.

That points to a leaky defence and Almeria have lost their last two away games by an aggregate score of 7-2, going down 5-1 to Sevilla and 2-1 at Villarreal.

It could be a familiar story for the Rojiblancos on Friday, with Bilbao liable to win an entertaining contest that sees both teams get on the scoresheet, with the 3-1 home win appealing in the Correct Score market.
