GRANADA V ATHLETIC BILBAO PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Granada has had a tough year in la liga so far and are in the thick of the relegation fight.  They are currently in 17^th place, just one spot off the drop with 8 points from 9 matches.  Their record of 2-2-5 doesn’t seem great but both wins are in their last 4 matches so they have improved a lot from their first 5 matches where they didn’t manage a win.  Their latest 4 matches have all had over 2.5 goals.

Bilbao are in crisis this season.  After an excellent year last season where they made the Europa League final and the Copa del Ray final they are facing a real threat of relegation.  They currently sit in 16^th place with just 8 points form 9 matches and have lost 5 of their last 6 matches.  4 of their last 5 matches have had over 2.5 goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Granada are still without Jamie Romero and Fran Rico but have no fresh injury worries.  They will be hoping they can capitalize on Bilbao’s current crisis to keep themselves clear of the relegation zone.  A loss could well see them fall into the bottom 3. 

Bilbao still have an excellent quality of player in their squad so it is disappointing to see them faring so badly in the league currently.  They have lost 3 of their last 4 in the league and will fall into the relegation zone with another loss here.  They will be without Ander Herrera who picked up a red card in the loss to Valencia, this will certainly affect the quality of the midfield, a loss they can barely afford.

GRANADA V ATHLETIC BILBAO PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Granada are favourites as the home side and despite their indifferent home form this season I think it is fair.  They have lost only once at home and Bilbao are struggling hugely this year.

Coral are offering a strong 2.5 on the home win which I think is a good price.

GRANADA - ATHLETIC BILBAO PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

4 of Granada’s last 5 matches have ended with over 2.5 goals, as have 2 of the last 5 involving Athletic.

There is very little to choose between the over/under but I feel there is a small bit of value to be had with Stan James who are offering Under 2.5 Goals at 1.95.
