Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Both teams have netted in three of Athletic Bilbao’s last four fixtures
• Real Sociedad have only failed to score in four of their 14 away league games
• Bilbao have only kept two clean sheets in their last 14 matches

Can Bilbao keep the run going?

Athletic Bilbao will hope they can continue their late burst of form in order to push up to the European qualification spots, but their defence surely needs to be more sturdy in order to break into the top six.

Ernesto Valverde’s side have only kept two clean sheets in their last 14 outings, half of which have seen both teams score, which points to why they have managed just two wins in their nine most recent fixtures.

Three of their last five games at San Mames have also seen both teams net, while their form at home remains a concern thanks to just two wins in eight games since Christmas.

Real Sociedad hoping to turn away form around

Real Sociedad on the other hand have struggled away from home of late, losing three of their last four matches and failing to score in each defeat.

However, they do hit the back of the net more often than not on the road, doing so in ten of their 14 La Liga matches on their travels, accumulating 20 strikes and 26 points in the process.

It continues to be an impressive campaign for Imanol Alguacil’s side, who are still in the the top four, but with just three clean sheets in their last nine league outings, they would like to be tighter at the back.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, but it is quite hard to split them, so a 1-1 draw is my correct score prediction.
