Girona vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Joseph King in LaLiga Predictions
12th-place Girona play host to fifth-placed Athletic Club for this early kickoff matchday nine La Liga fixture on Sunday. Let’s break down the match statistics and offer a prediction for this meeting between the Blanquivermells and Los Leones.
It’s been a tough start to the 2024/25 season for Girona after their fairytale run last year saw them secure Champions League football with a third-place finish. They’ve managed just two wins and three draws from their first eight domestic league fixtures, leaving them on nine points.
Girona haven’t had much luck in their first ever European fixtures either. They were welcomed to the Champions League with a 1-0 away loss to PSG and their most recent appearance saw them suffer a 3-2 home defeat to Feyenoord.
The defeat to their Dutch opponents mean that Girona have not tasted victory in their last six outings, four of which have seen them on the losing end.
Athletic Club will be hoping that this is the season that the club will return to Europe’s premier club competition after finishing in fifth last season. They’re on the right track as they have amassed a 4-2-2 record in La Liga, putting them on 14 points and trailing fourth-place Atletico by just two.
Los Leones are coming off a well-deserved 2-0 home win over Dutch side AZ in the Europa League on Thursday. It snapped a run of two straight draws and moved Athletic Club’s unbeaten run to seven games. That includes a positive run of form in La Liga where the visitors have taken 10 of the last 12 available points.

Our Girona vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
This is a good “buy low” spot on Girona, who were unlucky to walk away from their Champions League matchup with Feyenoord empty-handed. Girona turned the Estadi Montilivi into an absolute fortress last season with 15 wins from 19 league fixtures. They’ll also have an extra day's rest compared to Athletic who played on Thursday.
The hosts are creating on average over 2.00 expected goals per home match so far this season, but haven’t quite gotten the bounces to go their way. We like them to respond here. Our Girona vs Athletic Club prediction: Girona draw no bet.10% Daily cashback up to €100
