Athletic Bilbao vs Elche Predictions

• Five of Athletic Bilbao’s last seven games have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Five of the host’s seven outings at San Mames this term have generated fewer than 2.5 goals.
• Under 2.5 goals have also been scored in six of Elche’s last eight league starts and in four of their six away trips this season.
• Elche have drawn four of their last six league matches.

Bilbao Set For a Scrap at San Mames

Six of Elche’s last eight La Liga matches have produced under 2.5 goals, and that’s our pick for their weekend clash against Athletic Bilbao at San Mames.

It’s hard to be confident about either of these sides bagging all three points this Sunday and the match betting should be given a wide berth.

Athletic Bilbao have won just one of their last seven after being turned over 0-1 here by Sociedad in Thursday’s Basque derby, and while Elche arguably turned in their best performance of the campaign in midweek to draw 1-1 against Real Madrid, Jorge Almiron’s charges are now without a victory in nine league starts.

There’s plenty to suggest, though, that this will be a low scoring fixture – aside from the fact that both teams have been generally struggling of late.

Aside from the aforementioned under 2.5 trend in Elche’s recent games, five of Bilbao’s last seven have also produced under 2.5 goals while five of Los Leones’ seven outings at San Mames this season have also generated less than 2.5.

Backing a similar outcome this weekend looks the only obvious profitable wager for punters and with an abundance of holes to pick in both sides, we’re also going for a 1-1 correct score.
