📏 Form Guide

Getafe

WLLLLL 🔻

Getafe will be wanting a better result here after a 3-0 La Liga loss in their previous game against Valencia.

In that match, Getafe managed 41% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Valencia got 10 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Pepelu (8'), Diego López (18') and Hugo Duro (37') scored for Valencia.

An interesting characteristic of recent Getafe games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their prior 6 matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've lost.

Their previous form shows that Getafe:

• have not emerged victorious against Athletic Bilbao in their last 9 league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 league matches.

Athletic Bilbao

LWLDLW

Athletic Bilbao come into this match after a 1-0 La Liga win against Alaves in their most recent outing.

In that match, Athletic Bilbao managed 60% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Alaves had 3 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Manu Sánchez (71' Own goal) was the scorer for Alaves.

A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games involving Athletic Bilbao has been fairly consistent recently. A glance at their last 6 games reveals that it has occurred 5 times. During these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal tally of 8 and Athletic Bilbao have scored 4. Having said that, it remains to be seen if that pattern might persist in this upcoming match.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Athletic Bilbao:

• remain unbeaten by Getafe in away games against them for the last 5 league games. A solid away record against them.
• are without an away win for the past 3 matches in the league.

↔️ Head to head

Draws have become a regular occurrence between the two sides. In their head to head meetings beginning from 18/03/2022, fans have seen 5 of these. That’s a comparatively high 83% of games ending as stalemates.

A total of 14 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 6 from Azulones and 8 for Los Leones. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.33.

📰 Team News: Getafe

We are thinking that Azulones look set to line up in a 4-5-1 system for this one and select David Soria, Juan Iglesias, Domingos Duarte, Omar Alderete, Diego Rico, Ramon Terrats, Luis Milla, Mauro Arambarri, Chrisantus Uche, Juan Bernat and Borja Mayoral.

ℹ️ Team News: Athletic Bilbao

Out of a mainly full-strength group, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde to contend with. Álvaro Djaló (flu) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, Los Leones seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Unai Simon, Andoni Gorosabel, Daniel Vivian, Yeray Alvarez, Yuri Berchiche, Mikel Jauregizar, Mikel Vesga, Gorka Guruzeta, Alex Berenguer, Unai Gomez and Maroan Sannadi.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Getafe will have a tough ask to breach the defence of this Athletic Bilbao lineup who we think might gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore seeing a narrow 0-1 advantage for Athletic Bilbao when all is said and done.

Should be an interesting one.
