Athletic Bilbao vs Cadiz Predictions

• Athletic Bilbao have won five of their ten home league games
• Five of Cadiz’s nine away fixtures have ended in defeat
• Bilbao have kept six La Liga clean sheets at San Mames this season

Inconsistent Athletic hoping to put poor run behind them

Athletic Bilbao haven’t been on the best of runs, losing three of their last five matches, while they are also without a win in five La Liga outings since the World Cup.

Ernesto Valverde’s side have been strong at San Mames though, where they have won five times in ten league fixtures, keeping an impressive six clean sheets in the process.

Indeed, they have kept clean sheets in three of their last half a dozen La Liga outings, two of which have ended 0-0, while two of their three defeats over that period have been on the road.

Cadiz impressing, but face uphill battle

Cadiz meanwhile are close to moving out of the bottom three after two wins and two draws from their last five league outings, but their defeat during that run did come away from home to Sevilla.

Indeed, Sergio’s side have lost five times in nine away matches, picking up just a couple of victories, with none of their points on the road coming against teams in the top half of the table.

They have also failed to score four times on the road, with their total of five goals on their travels a joint-low in La Liga.

I predict that Athletic Bilbao will win this game to nil, with 1-0 my correct score prediction.
