Athletic Bilbao vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions
Villarreal have the chance to shake up things after a recent run of winless outings. The Yellow Submarines are set for a tough La Liga outing when they head out to Athletic Bilbao. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Athletic Bilbao leapfrogged Villarreal in the standings after their 2-1 win against Real Madrid last time out. In this game, they will be playing a fourth game of five at home.
Coming from four straight wins, they will be keen to make it count. In total Athletic Club are unbeaten in the last 10 matches, winning seven. In their 12 home matches this season, they only lost to Atletico Madrid.
Villarreal will know just how tough this game can be, having beaten Athletic Bilbao just once in their last 11 meetings. While they are coming from Copa del Rey elimination, La Liga form offers a glimmer of hope for Villarreal.
They have gone unbeaten in five La Liga matches, winning twice and drawing three. Villarreal suffered only two defeats in their last 18 league matches – against Real Madrid and Barcelona.
In 16 away league matches, only Real Madrid stopped them from scoring. With such strong trends, Villarreal will rightly feel confident about their chances in this game.
