Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe Predictions

• Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in six home fixtures
• Getafe are the only team in La Liga yet to win an away game this season
• Getafe have netted just seven times in their 14 matches on the road

Bilbao in need of a win

Athletic Bilbao’s patchy form has seen them slip outside of the European qualification places in La Liga, but a lot of their recent defeats have come on the road, with their home form much stronger.

Indeed, they are unbeaten in six matches at San Mames, a run that includes wins over Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, keeping a couple of clean sheets in the process.

Marcelino García Toral’s side should win this fixture comfortably, and given there have been 36 goals in their 13 home fixtures, they might do it without there being three goals in the game.

Getafe woeful on the road

Fourteen away games into the La Liga season and Getafe still haven’t registered a victory, a run that includes eight defeats and six draws.

They have netted just seven times, comfortably the worst return in the division, failing to score in four of their last six on their travels in all competitions.

Home or away they are without a win in five and it is difficult to see how the relegation threatened side will pick up any points from this game.

I predict an Athletic Bilbao victory with less than three goals in the game, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
