Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction: Bet on narrow win for guests

In the 10th round of the Spanish Primera Division, Getafe will face Athletic from Bilbao. Despite the field factor, the Lions are quoted as notable favorites, while it is worth noting that the Athletic did not win in their last two games in La Liga.

Getafe

After the international break, Getafe has a 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano and two home losses to Valladolid and Real Madrid. Such results dropped the Deep Blue Ones to 16th place in the league standings, the gap from the relegation zone and Almeria one point. Getafe's home stats are 17th in the league, +1=1-3, 4-8 goal difference.

Athletic Bilbao

After the break, the Basques started off with a 4-0 win over Almeria, but then slowed down with a draw against Sevilla and a 0-1 loss to Atletico Madrid. One point scored in the last two rounds has dropped the Lions to sixth place, and only recently the Basques were in the Champions League zone. But now Athletic is behind Atletico and Betis on two points each. Their away statistics are sixth in the division, although it is worth noting that the Lions have played only three away games, while most teams have played five or six. Wins over Cadiz and Elche, a draw against Sevilla, Athletic scored in every away game.
