Venue: | San Mamés (Bilbao) |
Prediction: | Athletic Club 4-1 UD Almería |
Bookmaker: |
Four wins in the first six games are the best start that Athletic Bilbao had in recent years, and they have an excellent chance to keep that run going in the next round when they host Almeria, a newly-promoted team.
Not only is Almeria new in the league, but they also struggled so far, with four points from six matches. So, with Athletic hosting this game in Bilbao, one of the league’s hottest home courts, we expect them to win the game after leading at halftime.
The Basque team kept a clean sheet in three of their six games this season in La Liga, although that was in the first three matches, after which they conceded in the last three.
Meanwhile, Almeria failed to score in the last three games in the league, and we can see their offensive woes continuing, at least for the match with Athletic in Bilbao.
The last league between these sides was La Liga match day 28 on 21/03/2015, which finished with the scoreline of Athletic Bilbao 2-1 UD Almería.
On that occasion, Athletic Bilbao had 58% possession and 19 attempts at goal, with 6 of them on target. The scorers were Xabi Etxeita (9′), Mikel Rico (26′), and Balenziaga (47′ Own goal).
UD Almería had seven attempts at goal, for their opponents, with 1 of them on target.
We’re of the opinion that Athletic Bilbao should dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.
At the same time, UD Almería is also probably going to find it difficult to get a goal of their own, although we do see them scoring.
Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Athletic Bilbao at full-time.
