Athletic have won three of their last four games in La Liga
Girona have lost four of their last six following a 3-2 home defeat to Feyenoord
The hosts have conceded nine goals across losses to Valencia, Barcelona and Atletico this term
Athletic to continue fine run
Girona’s poor season continued with a 3-2 home defeat to Feyenoord in midweek, with last season’s surprise package sitting in 12th place in La Liga. They’ve lost four of their last six games, with defensive issues holding them back.
Girona are trying to rebuild after a big summer exodus, while they meet an Athletic Bilbao side that have been building back and seem to be at their peak. The visitors are pushing for a top four finish in La Liga, while they’re looking to make the Europa League final at their own ground.
The visitors have won three of their last four in La Liga, while they saw off AZ 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday. Athletic have scored two goals per game on their travels this season and they can make the most of a Girona side who keep leaking goals. The hosts have lost 2-0 to Valencia, 4-1 to Barcelona and 3-0 to Atletico Madrid so far and a strong Athletic side should add to that.
The visitors have struck nine goals across the last five meetings between these two, so over 1.5 Athletic goals is the standout bet here.
Predictions:Athletic Bilbao Over 1.5 Team Goals Athletic Bilbao 2-1
