Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe Prediction: Both teams have a decent tournament motivation

Saturday's pool of the next round of the Spanish La Liga will continue with the match between Athletic of Bilbao and Getafe. The Basques are listed as notable favorites in the pair, and it should be noted that both teams have a decent tournament motivation, although aimed at different things.

Athletic Bilbao

Before starting the 27th round of Spanish La Liga, Athletic is in seventh position in the standings with 36 points. So far, the seventh place is not a European Cup position, but it will likely become one if Barcelona or Real Madrid wins the Spanish Cup. In other words, holding the seventh position for Atlético de Madrid is very important. The gap from Villarreal is five points. Athletic's home stats are 11th in the division, +6=2-5, 18:11 goal difference.

Getafe

Getafe ended the last cycle positively; they scored 7 points in the previous three games of La Liga: they played in a draw with Cadiz away and beat Sevilla and Girona on their field. It is important to note that in this period, the team scored at least two goals per game in every match, indicating the excellent form of Getafe. Two weeks have passed since then, so let's see if the Citizens have managed to maintain their tone. Getafe broke away from the relegation zone, climbing to a comfortable 13th place. However, we should note that the gap Getafe from the relegation zone is only three points, so it is too early to relax. Getafe's away statistics are 14th in the division, +2=4-6, 11:18 goal difference.
