Athletic Bilbao

Their most recent results show that there has been much resilience in the Athletic Bilbao rearguard. Athletic Bilbao have been mean at the back, seeing the tally of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past 6 outings standing at 1. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, though.

We’re inclined to think that Athletic Bilbao will, in all likelihood, dominate possession and create several successful chances.
Conversely, UD Las Palmas are also probably going to find it difficult to make a breakthrough although we do think that they will probably end up scoring here.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Athletic Bilbao at full-time.
