SPA D1-Athletic Bilbao VS Getafe

 

 

Team Analysis:

At the end of last season's La Liga, Athletic Bilbao finished 5th with 68 points. Getafe finished 12th with 25 points less.

Athletic Bilbao kept quite a few key players. The name that has been mentioned a lot recently is Nico Williams.

 

Meanwhile, Getafe has had quite a few changes. Most notably, the striker who scored 8 goals for Getafe last season, Greenwood.

 

Odds analysis:

Athletic Bilbao is somewhat superior to the away team. However, the two have drawn 7 out of 10 recent matches.

Athletic Bilbao uses young goalkeeper Padilla due to injuries to key players. This has partly caused them to concede quite a few goals in the pre-season.

The history of confrontations favors Getafe to have a not-so-bad result today. In the opening match of last season, they got 1 point.

 

Conclusion:

Getafe + 1.5
