In a La Liga clash that could have long-term implications in the Champions League qualification race, Villarreal host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. This match between the fifth-placed Yellow Submarine and the fourth-placed Lions at El Madrigal comes with our prediction of the away team avoiding defeat.

Villarreal’s 47 points put them six points behind Athletic’s 53 points, although they have a game in hand over their visitors. Villarreal won 2-1 away at Getafe last weekend to end a two-game losing streak. This was a much-needed result as they look to get back in the race for Champions League qualification.

What could worry the home fans is Villarreal’s recent form at this venue, as they won just two of their last seven league matches here. That could work to Athletic’s advantage, as they look to keep their six-point lead over Villarreal in the top four race.

Athletic drew 0-0 at home against Osasuna last weekend and have lost just one of their last 20 matches in La Liga. Although they have an upcoming Europa League quarter-final, Athletic will hope to keep their momentum going in the league. Even on the road, Athletic have been consistently avoiding defeat, and that could continue here.

Our Villarreal vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

The race for Champions League qualification heats up with this match, as Villarreal could close their gap to Athletic with a win. The Yellow Submarine haven’t quite dominated teams at home, winning only two of their last seven league matches at this venue. That could give hope for Athletic to avoid defeat and go back with at least a point. Further aiding their push is Athletic’s recent away record that has seen them avoid defeat consistently. Our Villarreal vs Athletic Bilbao prediction is draw or Athletic Bilbao wins.
