Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe Predictions

More away woes for Getafe

Athletic Bilbao are the best bet when they host Getafe at San Mames on Saturday. The visitors have lost on their last three Primera Liga away games and could be heading for more misery.

Athletic Bilbao are eighth in the league, four places and three points ahead of Getafe. Bilbao have won four of their nine games this season, while Getafe have three wins.

Getafe could not break their losing run when they were beaten 1-0 at home by Real Madrid in their last Primera Liga game, with the visitors scoring the only goal in the second half. Real Madrid were priced at 4/9 to win the game.

The hosts’ recent home record against Getafe is impressive, with only one defeat in the last ten meetings in Bilbao.

Getafe are in a rut. They have not won in five Primera Liga games and have only tasted victory once in their last seven matches, with their last two games both ending in defeat.

The visitors have been struggling defensively of late. Getafe have gone four games without keeping a clean sheet on their travels and have conceded nine goals in five away games this season. They last kept out Oviedo last month.

A 1-0 win for Athletic Bilbao looks like a decent correct-score option. Six of their last eight league games have ended with under 2.5 goals and all four of their wins this season have been by the odd goal. Getafe have been beaten by a single goal in their last two matches.
