Prediction published on 02/12/2023, 02:11  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Athletic Bilbao’s hunt for a top four slot in La Liga continues as they host Rayo Vallecano in their next game. Heading into this game Athletic Bilbao are fifth while Rayo Vallecano are 10th. Six points separate the two sides, Bilbao having collected one in their more recent game. They had to come from behind to draw 1-1 with Girona in the last game. While that game extended their unbeaten run to five, Bilbao still have no clean sheet in six straight games. They have managed just two clean sheets in 10 matches. Both sides have scored in Bilbao’s last five matches. The hosts will however take confidence in the fact they scored more than once in four of five matches.

Like Athletic Bilbao, Rayo Vallecano will also be looking to bounce back. Theirs has however been a longer run without a win. The 1-1 draw against Barcelona in their last game was a huge showing of their abilities. It took a late own goal for Barcelona to equalize in Rayo’s last outing. Rayo have lost just once in their last seven matches. Both teams have scored in Rayo’s last two matches. The last six meetings between these two sides had both teams scoring in four.
