Athletic Bilbao-Vallecano is a match from the sixth day of the Spanish La Liga: here’s where to watch it, the probable formations and the prediction
ATHLETIC BILBAO – VALLECANO | Saturday 21:00
Athletic Bilbao’s last home outing coincided with a defeat against Espanyol. In short, the Basque side need a win against a Vallecano side who are coming off a fine performance against Valencia and who, away from home, have already picked up four points this season when they drew at Camp Nou against Barcelona. Iraola’s visiting troop is better away in a nutshell, although it seems decidedly unlikely that the visiting side will come away with the points.
Yes, there is a favourite team and of course it is Athetic Bilbao. Last weekend’s win over Elche was a straightforward affair Four to one for Valverde’s men, who look well on course for their second win in a row.
The Vallecano
The Prediction
A victory for Athletic Bilbao in a match that might as well give a three-goal total fits. The hosts are in good form and want to continue to stay in the areas of the standings that matter. Difficult for Vallecano to return home with a positive result.
