Athletic Bilbao v Getafe predictions and preview: Betting stats

Athletic Bilbao are 17^th in La Liga and have just 8 points from their opening 8 fixtures (W2 D2 L4). Their form is very inconsistent at DDLWL but more recently their home form has picked up after their first home game ended in a 5-3 against Betis. Since they have beaten Valladolid and Osasuna and drawn against Malaga. Their games have averaged 3.50 goals with 4 exceeding 2.5 goals and 4 with fewer.

Getafe are 6 places higher than their hosts in 11^th but have amassed just two point more (W3 D1 L4). They missed the chance to win 3 games on the trot last week with a defeat a home to Levante and their form is LLWWL. Away from home they’ve been good and bad with defeats to Sevilla and Celta Vigo, a draw with Deportivo, and most recently a win against Zaragoza. Their games average fewer goals at 2.38 but the same over/under 2.5.

Team News and Run of Play

Bilbao will be without Ander Herrera after his red card last week while Getafe seem to have a clean bill of health.

Athletic have been pretty poor this season but as of late their form has picked up a bit and they seem to be scoring a few more goals. They went down late last week to Valencia and late midweek to Lyon too. It seems they just need to maintain concentration until the final whistle in order to win a few more games.

Getafe are struggling with consistency both home and away this season. They probably should have strung together a treble of wins but succumbed 1-0 to Levante last week. I think they will need to score more goals away from home (1 in each of their fixtures so far) in order to win more games as they aren’t keeping teams out either.

Bilbao should really extend their unbeaten home run to 4 in this game. For me they should have the class to outplay and outmanoeuvre Getafe and despite their exploits on Thursday they should have returned home in plenty time to prepare fully for this fixture.

Athletic Bilbao v Getafe predictions: 1X2 betting preview

Bilbao should win this game and I agree that the price of 1.91 with William Hill is about right yet still remains decent value in the match market. Bilbao cannot remain this far down the table for long and for me their form is due to pick up further. All it takes is a win here and they will overtake their opponents in the table, so close are the mid-table sides so far. So an Athletic Bilbao win here is the bet.

If you agree, follow me to William Hill for the bet.

Athletic Bilbao v Getafe predictions: Asian Handicap preview

For me, you can’t go far wrong with splitting your stake here between Bilbao to win and Bilbao -1 in the -0.75 market. I think Bilbao, if on form, should win with ease against this Getafe side so Athletic Bilbao (-0.75) at 2.17 with 188bet seems like a good value bet for this fixture.

Athletic Bilbao v Getafe predictions: Total Goals preview

I can’t see too many goals in this game. Since Bilbao conceded 5 against Betis they have kept three consecutive clean sheets and Getafe, despite scoring in every away game, have only managed one per game. A price of 1.95 with bet365 for under 2.5 goals seems good value.

If you see a low scoring game here, bet here.
