Getafe and Athletic Bilbao drew five of their last six head-to-head encounters. Will our algorithm predict another draw between these Spanish rivals?
Since winning the Copa del Rey, Athletic Bilbao’s form has dipped. The Lions are winless in their last four matches, picking up just two points during that time. They are now six points off Champions League qualification.
Getafe are unbeaten in their last three matches, picking up five points from nine. The Azulones defeated Almeria 3-1 a week ago.
The clubs played a four-goal thriller earlier this season at Athletic Bilbao’s San Mames.
Yuri Berchice put Athletic on top with a sixth-minute goal. However, a first-half red card for Oihan Sancet opened the door for Getafe.
Gaston Alvarez equalised before Inaki Williams put Athletic back into the lead on 62 minutes. With eight minutes to play, Getafe’s Juami Latasa levelled the scores once more.
Getafe have been a strong tream at home this season. They have posted a record of 8W-5D-3L and a goal difference of +4. However, the Azulones failed to win their last two matches at home in la Liga.
Athletic Bilbao have struggled on the road recently. They lost their last two matches away from San Mames and have an overall road record of 5W-5D-6L. Meanwhile, the Lions have a -2-goal difference on the road.
Gorka Guruzeta leads Athletic Club in goal scoring with 14 this season.
Guruzeta scored or assisted a goal in each of Athletic’s last three La Liga matches. However, all three games ended without wins. Inaki Williams has nine goals for the Lions.
Getafe’s Borja Mayoral has 15 goals this season in La Liga. Mayoral is fifth in the La Liga Golden Boot race.
He is just four goals off top marksman Artem Dovbyk. Mayoral has five more matches to catch Dovbyk in the goal scoring stats chart.
On-loan Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has eight goals for the Los Azulones. Greenwood has also tallied six assists.
Greenwood is in fantastic form ahead of the match with Athletic Club. The Englishman scored twice and assisted a third goal in Getafe’s 3-1 win over Almeria last weekend.
The trend between these teams over the last six matches have been draws. Our prediction is for yet another stalemate between the clubs.
Although the reverse fixture ended 2-2, our score prediction is for a nil-nil draw this time around. Athletic are not in good form and should once again drop points in the race for the top five.
