Las Palmas vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Picks - LaLiga

Prediction published on 9/13/24, 12:30 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/13/24 at 8:07 PM in LaLiga Picks

Las Palmas started the new La Liga season in the same way, just like last season, drawing 2 games and losing 2. Carrion, the coach of Las Palmas, will have to remedy the situation soon, but it does not seem easy because they will receive Athletic Club, who are in urgent need of a victory, and who also beat them at home and at San Mames last season.

Although it seems that Las Palmas could be an affordable rival for Athletic Club, the truth is that Athletic Club drew last season against the 3 teams that would end up being relegated, so it is not a guaranteed victory for the lions in any way.

Athletic Club is another team that did not start its league season in the best way, as this is its worst start in the last 4 seasons, only adding 4 points in 4 games. In addition, they lost painfully against Atletico Madrid in the last play of the game, which coach Valverde described as a "hammer blow."

Athletic Club's last visit to Las Palmas was in March of this year in a 2-0 victory for the visitors where their star Williams assisted on the first goal of the match. However, it was a duel where Las Palmas at times even had the initiative with an xG of 1.22 and a possession of 71% and almost doubled Athletic Club's dangerous attacks with 56.
