Granada vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Athletic Bilbao will look to stay in the hunt for a top-four finish when they travel to Granada in the league this weekend. This La Liga match will be played at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármene on Sunday. The hosts started this round in 19th spot with seven points and the visitors were 5th with 28 points. Granada are still four points adrift of safety spots ahead of this round but their recent form suggests they are in trouble. The hosts were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid in their last league game making it a fifth loss across six matches. In fact, that result extended their winless run to 12 matches where they drew four and lost eight. The silver lining is their home form as Granada have lost just two of their last six home league matches, winning one and drawing three.

Athletic start this round three points behind top-four and can’t afford to drop points here. They are coming off a 4-0 over Rayo Vallecano which should give them confidence on this trip. That win made it three victories and a draw from their last four league matches. They have been impressing at both ends of the pitch with 30 goals scored and only 18 conceded. If at all there is any concern for the visitors, it has to be about their away form. Athletic have failed to win three of their last four away league games, drawing one and losing two. Their only win in this sequence has come at Villarreal and that could be a template they may use here.
