Ath Bilbao – Getafe : Preview & Prediction
Athletic Bilbao is undefeated in the last two years against Getafe, earning 1 point in the southern suburbs of Madrid in November 2020 (1-1) and last December (0-0) and recording 1 large win in San Mamés in the previous exercise (5-1) in January 2021. The Basque club will therefore have a psychological advantage over its opponent who is fighting for survival. Athletic Bilbao, 8th, is 7 points from the 6th and last place in Europe and must not lose any more points on the road. At home, the partners of Williams (7 goals) are undefeated since January 20, beating FC Barcelona (3-2 ap) and Real Madrid (1-0) in the King’s Cup, then Espanyol (2-1), Real Sociedad (4-0) and Levante (3-1) on March 7 in the Spanish championship. Bilbao, who narrowly lost in Andalusia against Betis Sevilla (1-0) last weekend, should bounce back against Getafe, who have not yet confirmed their survival. The club from the Madrid suburbs is 15th, but its four-point lead over the red zone is fragile with 10 games left in the season. Getafe is the only club not to have won an away game in La Liga after 14 attempts (6 draws and 8 defeats). Quique Sanchez Flores’s colts remain on 1 defeat in Catalonia against Espanyol (2-0) on March 5 followed by 1 share of the points at home with FC Valencia (0-0). It’s been 5 days (3 draws and 2 defeats) that Borja Mayoral (3 goals) and his partners have not known the joys of victory and this series could continue after this trip to the Basque Country.
