Villarreal vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Villarreal’s last six games
• Athletic have seen BTTS in their last four trips
• The visitors have lost four of five visits to the top seven this season

Villarreal’s top four hopes fading

The hosts have taken seven points from their last three, but they remain seven points shy of fourth as La Liga heads into the final five matches of the season. The hosts are looking good for a spot in the Europa League, while Saturday pits them against a team who are scrapping to make the top seven.

Athletic are level on points with seventh-placed Girona heading into the weekend, but their own European ambitions were dented with losses at home to Sevilla and Real Betis in their last three games. Having enjoyed some away success of late, can they rally at la Ceramica?

Goals beckon for Euro hopefuls

Villarreal have seen both teams score in each of their last six matches, while they’ve won 4-2 and 3-1 in their last two at home. The hosts have been good value for goals this term, scoring in 81% of their home matches while conceding in 75% of their games at their own ground.

Athletic have seen both teams score in each of their last four trips, so backing goals looks like the best option in this clash. However, the visitors have lost nine times against the top seven this season, including four defeats in five on the road. Back them to lose 2-1 with BTTS the main selection.
