Athletic Bilbao vs Deportivo La Coruna Betting Tips and Predictions 

Athletic Bilbao are looking to build on an excellent 3-0 win at Valencia with another 3 points here. They scored 3 goals in seven Second Half minutes at the Mestalla as Sabin, Muniain and Aduriz all popped up to score. Aduriz had been given a rare rest with the strain of a huge number of domestic and European games perhaps beginning to take its toll on Athletic but once again he proved his importance to the team by inspiring a late win.

Their form hadn’t been great prior to that though and they’d lost 5 of their previous 9 matches in all competitions although they have had some tough fixtures in the early weeks of 2016. They are currently 7th, which is likely to be enough for Europa League football next season.

Deportivo are 3 places and 6 points worse off and their early season form has really deserted them since the turn of the year. They’ve not won any of their last 12 matches with their last win coming on the 19th December against Eibar. Their two most recent results have been most worrying as they’ve gone down to successive 1-o defeats against struggling Espanyol and Granada.

Confidence at the Riazor is shredding by the week and it’s a tough ask for them to get anything here against an Athletic Bilbao side that will have been lifted by that big win at Valencia. Athletic are strong at San Mames and you can back Athletic Bilbao to win 2-0 at 6/1, which looks a solid bet given Deportivo are struggling for goals.
