Athletic Bilbao vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

• Athletic Club’s five league games have all produced under 2.5 goals.
• Bilbao have kept four clean sheets in five but have also managed to score just four goals.
• Rayo Vallecano have netted just one goal in their three away trips this season.
• The visitors have picked up just one point from their three starts on the road.

Hosts to edge tight clash at San Mames

Athletic Bilbao remain unbeaten ahead of this Matchday 6 clash after going toe-to-toe with champions Atletico Madrid on Saturday, and Marcelino’s men are fancied to edge out Rayo Vallecano in a tight clash at San Mames.

Los Leones notched a fourth clean sheet in five with their goalless stalemate at Wanda Metropolitano and they could potentially have left the capital with all three points had striker Inaki Williams been more clinical in front of goal.

Williams squandered a couple of fine chances including when firing wide one-on-one with Atleti keeper Jan Oblak, and the Bilbao number nine will be disappointed to have only two goals in the ledger this term.

And his side overall have managed just four goals which has led to all five of their La Liga games finishing with under 2.5 – a trend we foresee continuing at San Mames in midweek with visitors Rayo Vallecano netting just once in their three away trips since promotion back to the top flight.

The Madrilenians were impressive on the own turf again at the weekend when beating Getafe 3-0, a result and performance capped by Radamel Falcao’s goalscoring debut for The Red Sashes.

But Andoni Iraola’s side have struggled thus far on their travels, and it’s no surprise that their solitary goal on the road has yielded just one point from a possible nine.

Overall, under 2.5 goals looks the right play for Tuesday’s encounter and it’s the hosts who are given the vote to edge matters in the correct score market with a 1-0 result.
