Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Bilbao have only won five of their 11 home league matches
• Real Sociedad are unbeaten in five La Liga games
• Just three of Athletic’s last nine fixtures at San Mames Barria have ended in victory

Bilbao searching for consistency

Athletic Bilbao beat Espanyol in their last home league game, but head into this clash having not won back-to-back La Liga fixtures at San Mames Barria since October.

Marcelino García Toral’s side have won less than half of their home league matches, with three of their four defeats coming against sides in the top half of the table.

They lost 3-2 to Mallorca last time out and are struggling defensively, keeping just two clean sheets in their last eight games at all venues.

Real Sociedad going well

A 2-2 draw in Germany against RB Leipzig in the Europa League on Thursday night saw Real Sociedad extend their unbeaten run to five games away from home.

They have been strong on the road all season, losing just four times in 18 games in all competitions, with two of those losses coming at Barcelona and Real Betis.

Imanol Alguacil’s side have won four and drawn four of their 11 matches on their travels in La Liga, while they are solid defensively, keeping five clean sheets in their last seven at all venues.

Sociedad are also drawing lots though, so my initial selection for this game is Real Sociedad draw no bet, selecting 2-1 to the visitors as a correct score prediction.
