Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Villarreal haven’t scored too many away from home in the league this season, but both teams have netted in their last two matches at all venues and they will fancy their chances of netting against an Athletic Bilbao side who have kept just one clean sheet in nine

Athletic Bilbao 2-1

Reason for tip

Ernesto Valverde has still only lost three times in 11 games as Bilbao manager, picking up three wins on home soil, where they have conceded at least once on three occasions. Villarreal meanwhile have conceded in three of their last five away games, a period over which they are winless

Athletic Bilbao vs Villarreal Predictions

  • Four of Athletic Bilbao’s last five games have seen both teams net
  • Both teams have scored in Villarreal’s last two outings
  • Villarreal have won just two of their six fixtures directly after a European game

Bilbao hoping to end poor run

A run of four games without a win has seen Athletic Bilbao tumble out of the top four, while worryingly they have only kept one clean sheet in their last eight fixtures.

Half of those games have seen both teams score, including a 3-2 defeat of Rayo Vallecano at San Mames back in September.

Ernesto Valverde has still only lost three of his 11 games in charge though, while the last four meetings between these two sides have seen both teams net.

Villarreal hoping to climb the table

There is some upheaval at Villarreal, where Quique Setién is hoping for his first win after replacing Unai Emery, who has taken over at Aston Villa as manager.

They drew 2-2 at home to Hapoel Be’er Sheva in his first game in charge on Thursday, the second successive game in which both teams have scored.

They have a worrying record directly after European games though, winning just twice in six attempts this season.

I predict that both teams will score in this game and I think Bilbao could get the win, with 2-1 my correct score prediction.
