Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao Match Analysis and Prediction

Athletic Bilbao will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in La Liga when they make the trip to Coliseum Alfonso Perez to take on Getafe on Tuesday.

While the hosts played out a goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano in their last game, their visitors enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Getafe have won two, drawn two and lost five of their nine league matches this season, collecting eight points, which has left them in 16th place in the table, two points above the relegation zone.

Quique Sanchez Flores’ side won consecutive matches against Real Sociedad and Osasuna in the middle of September before losing to Real Valladolid and Real Madrid in their first two games of October.

The point on Friday against Rayo Vallecano was a step in the right direction, and they have another three matches to come before the end of the month.

The Deep Blue Ones only actually lost once to Athletic Bilbao in the league since January 2016, and three of the last four La Liga encounters between the two sides have ended all square.

Meanwhile, Athletic have enjoyed an imressive start to the season, winning five, drawing two and losing two of their nine matches to collect 17 points, which has left them in fifth place in the table.

Ernesto Valverde’s side are only two points behind third-place Atletico Madrid, but they lost 1-0 to Diego Simeone’s side on Saturday, with Antoine Griezmann scoring the only goal of the game in the 47th minute.

Athletic, who have won La Liga on eight occasions in their history, have been eighth, 11th, 10th and eighth in their last four campaigns at this level, but they finished fourth in 2013-14 and are certainly outsiders for a possible Champions League spot this season.

Getafe news

Mauro Arambarri remains the only fitness doubt for Getafe ahead of this contest, while Borja Mayoral and Enes Unal are expected to feature as the front two.

Head coach Sanchez Flores has plenty of options for change, with Jaime Mata and Portu among those pushing for spots in the side.

Athletic Bilbao news

Yuri Berchiche remains on the sidelines through injury, but Athletic Bilbao will be boosted by the return of Ander Herrera from suspension.

Mikel Vesga and Oihan Sancet should against line up in central midfield, while Alex Berenguer, Iker Muniain and Nico Williams are set to support Inaki Williams as centre-forward.

Prediction and Odds

Athletic Bilbao are the favourites of the two sides on paper, but it is difficult to ignore their recent struggles against Getafe when picking a result.

The visitors will be determined to bounce back to winning ways, but we expect Getafe to secure a draw in front of their home supporters.
