Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Devesh Jaganath in LaLiga Predictions
The eagerly-anticipated return of La Liga comes this Saturday with Athletic Bilbao welcoming Espanyol to the San Mames Stadium in our earliest kick-off of the day. The Lions currently sit in sixth position with 14 points, while the Parakeets have secured 10 points so far, placing them 14th. Let's get into the match prediction.
Bilbao seemed to have lady luck smiling upon them last time out as they were awarded two penalties, though they lacked the composure to convert either.
Girona, however, would take full advantage of their opportunity in the 99th minute when they converted their spot kick and secured a 2-1 victory on the day.
That loss ended the Lions six-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, during which they had won four matches and found the back of the net a total of 12 times.
Still, the hosts hold an exceptionally impressive home record with just a single loss from their last 23 La Liga matches.
Meanwhile, the Blanc-i-blaus went into the international break on a high after securing a 2-1 win against Mallorca, marking their third domestic victory of the campaign.
Although the Parakeets have now broken their three-match losing streak, they still need to drastically improve their poor away performances.
In their last four domestic away games, the visitors have scored only once and earned just a single point.
