Athletic Bilbao vs Alaves Predictions

• Bilbao have three wins in as many games this season.
• Alaves have scored in six of their last eight La Liga trips.
• Bilbao have conceded in two of their three games.

Bilbao looking to extend perfect start

Athletic Bilbao have a 100% record after three games this season with nine points on the board and they should be able to extend that by seeing off Alaves.

The visitors have made a reasonable start themselves with four points, including a draw with Atletico Madrid last time out.

However, Bilbao have dominated this fixture in recent years with five wins and no defeats in the last seven competitive meetings with their Basque rivals, and the in-form hosts can justify being the clear favourites.

The best angle here could be backing Bilbao to win and concede as they have shipped three goals across their three games so far – keeping just one clean sheet.

Alaves were able to get on the scoresheet against Atleti and they have a reasonable scoring record on the road, having scored in six of their last eight league trips stretching back into last season.

A 2-1 win for Bilbao is the correct score pick as Alaves haven’t conceded more than twice in any game since February and all three of Bilbao’s wins have come via one-goal margins.
