Athletic Bilbao vs Villarreal Prediction & Picks - LaLiga

Prediction published on 12/6/24, 10:15 AM by Carlos Zabala in LaLiga Picks

Athletic Bilbao, after beating Real Madrid, has a golden opportunity against Villareal to stay in the top 4 and distance its closest pursuer in order to secure a Champions League next season so longed for by the fans. The match will be at San Mamés, a real fortress, where only Atlético de Madrid was able to beat Athletic Club this season.

Villareal, on the other hand, has had a meritorious campaign, placing fifth. Marcelino's team is one of the few that likes to break the mold of typical Spanish positional football, and does so by attacking with a lot of people. This has resulted in the Yellow Submarine being the 3rd team with the most goals, only surpassed by Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, in the Copa del Rey during the week they were very surprisingly knocked out by Pontevedra, so Villareal will only have La Liga as its only competition for the rest of the year.

Villarreal will have a tough game at San Mamés on Sunday, given that Athletic Club is the second best home team in La Liga with 18 points. The Lions have also managed to win at home and away, being at times an imprecise team in attack that, although it creates danger, often fails to make the key pass or to define well.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Villarreal Prediction

Athletic Club's last game against Real Madrid was extremely good, defusing Real Madrid's attacks almost always outside the area and when they had confidence they were dangerous up front as well as taking advantage of mistakes. Agirrezabala saved a penalty and although Simon is ready to return from injury it is believed that Agirrezabala will get another chance to start on Sunday. The Williams brothers, after a few weak games at the start of the season, seem to have warmed up in recent games and are lethal in one-on-one situations. Berenguer is also expected to continue in the middle in what is an important game for Athletic Club to establish themselves as the 4th most dangerous team in Spain. Our prediction for Athletic Club vs Villarreal is: Athletic Club to win.
