Athletic Bilbao-Villarreal is a match valid for the 16th day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 4:15 p.m.: likely lineups, prediction, live TV and streaming.
With the victory against Real Madrid later in the week, Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao has hit 11 useful results in a row. An incredible string, which allows the Basque formation to occupy fourth place in the standings.
A result for the moment amply deserved. And who knows, maybe on Sunday afternoon the hosts could even stretch on the fifth place, the one occupied precisely by Villarreal, which has three points less and obviously dreams of hooking. Very difficult, for several reasons that are also under everyone’s eyes. A team, the home team, that does not really seem to be in that moment in which it is necessary to abdicate, on the contrary, far from it. Bilbao, against Real Madrid, showed that they have so much hunger and so much desire to keep playing to win. Maybe trying, even, to catch up with those in front that are not really that far away. If you win like that, against Ancelotti’s team, then you highlight important qualities and you can’t hide.
Sunday afternoon’s match, however, as mentioned, hides several pitfalls. The first is the standings, which indicate that the visiting yellow team has so far played a great season. Of course, Villarreal in the course of the week got knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Potevedra, a lower-ranked team proving, in this case, that massive turnover does not pay off. Perhaps in the physical aspect, since the big boys did not play, we could see a fresher visiting team. But from here to think it can make a splash is a long way off.
